Hi everyone,

Villain with the monster stack is abusing the bubble.. He's a LAG by nature and feel that I have zero fold equity against him + SB has only less then 5BB. Push or Fold?

Any feedback is highly appreciated

With reads of BU raising here any two and no fold equity it's marginal and maybe fold situation? I would say that it's ok to fold or shove. At least no big leak to do either imo.

If Sb would be with smaller stack(~3bb) or if he is very tight and likely to be drying into blinds this become fold.


this is a good fold.

if you are sure he is on ATC. it is a very very close spot (marginally +$EV with 88). but as soon as he starts open folding even a few hands it gets very very bad for you quickly (ie. if he is only doing this with 90%).

id say you can definitely get it in with TT with your read. but 88/99 are close and its better to be on the safe side and fold without a very solid read.

always fold AK though.
