Hello,

I would like to ask you for hand evaluation of the following hand.
It is from SNG $5 at Everest. I have posted it as a text since all hand converters I know can't convert Everest hand. If you know how to do that, for the future I will appreciate it.

I have deleted the whole cards of the VILLAIN and I'll post them after that. Something you should know. Villain was loose aggressive. Inclined to attempt steals with wide range of hands and aggressive but week post-flop.

BB is at seat 0 with 3,008.
VILLAIN is at seat 3 with 5,482.
BU is at seat 4 with 3,375.
HERO is at seat 7 with 3,135.

The dealer is seat 4.

HERO posts a blind of 80.
BB posts a blind of 160.
BB posts an ante of 20.
VILLAIN posts an ante of 20.
BU posts an ante of 20.
HERO posts an ante of 20.

HERO is dealt 4d 4s.)

Pre-flop:

VILLAIN raises 160.
BU folds.
HERO calls for 240.
BB folds.

The flop comes
9d 2d 10c.

HERO checks.
VILLAIN bets 480.
HERO calls for 480.

The turn comes 6c.

HERO checks.
VILLAIN bets 160.
HERO calls for 160.

The river comes 7c.

HERO checks.
VILLAIN bets 880.
HERO calls for 880.

Showdown:

Hi all,

I'm really confused with how this hand history is formatted.. Anyway it's a clear push or fold preflop situation once villain has raised. If he's raising quite wide I don't mind making a push here but usually it's a fold preflop. As played I would fold the flop, it's very hard for us to get to showdown with the best hand.. Stick to the articles

Thanks for the info.

In general I agree with you.

As played. I didn't want to push or 3bet PF with 4s since he was kind of a loose calling station and if I get called I'll have a flip best case. But he was horrible post flop, so I cold called.

On the flop. It was any two Cbet, so I cold called. on the T; his MB looked very week and I put him on some kind of over cards and maybe a draw. When he bet the meaningless turn I felt I am ahead and he is dark tunnel bluffing. Let me know if that makes any sense :)

Showdown:

VILLAIN shows: 4c Ks
Ks 10c 9d 7c 6c
King high

HERO shows: 4d 4s
4d 4s 10c 9d 7c
A pair of Fours

HERO wins pot (3,920).

And I have second question. Do u know how to convert hand histories from Everest?

Thanks!

With very good reads on opponent postflop play you can just call it (still not suggesting this especially in bubble), but standard play is push or fold. Ending to very marginal plays in bubble tend to be -$EV... :)

Just remember that 44 barely has any good flops. Also he is loose preflop so defining his hand range is problematic. Turn/river line indeed look weird. Probably air or some monster.

Problem is that even though he is loose and aggressive we are playing more or less "guess game" in bubble situation. Hoping that he is just firing 3 barrels bluff and not managing to hit anything.

Ya a positive result (which is obvious otherwise why would you post this thread ;) ) doesn't make it correct. This is still a push or fold spot preflop. if you think your fold equity is too low preflop then you can always fold. SNGs and especially bubble situations are not times to get into marginal spots.

Hahaha :))) Well yes! I am aware that it's extremely marginal spot. And that it's -$EV.

I have good read on his PF play, since I played a lot if SNG with him. And the way the hand developed I told he is running a 3ple barrel bluff and it's OK call.

Just wanted to hear different oppinion. :)

I appreciate it, thanks! :)

As far as the hand converter for Everest hand, any idea about it? :)
