If villain is overbet shoving A8o-AK,KQ,TT-33 . AJs is +0.40

Looks like a good raise/call to me.

Think before you post these trolls or you will continue to embarrass yourself VladimirN.

I suggest posting on the hand evaluation forums if you want to improve your own game.

Here are the forums suitable to your level:

I'm trying to improve my 3-bet calling range because I think I might be too tight in that department.

Let's take this hand, for example:

PokerStars - $13.92+$1.08|25/50 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Elio Oneiro (CO): 1,620
marcopolo444 (BTN): 2,284
FlyingZebraa (SB): 1,195
VladimirN (BB): 1,885
IvicaIliev77 (UTG): 2,016

FlyingZebraa posts SB 25, VladimirN posts BB 50

Pre Flop: (pot: 75) VladimirN has 4♣ 3♦

IvicaIliev77 raises to 112, fold, marcopolo444 raises to 2,284 and is all-in, fold, fold, IvicaIliev77 calls 1,904 and is all-in

Flop: (4,107, 2 players) A♠ 5♣ T♠

Turn: (4,107, 2 players) 3♠

River: (4,107, 2 players) Q♠

Spoiler

IvicaIliev77 shows A♣ J♣ (One Pair, Aces) (Pre 49%, Flop 92%, Turn 95%)
marcopolo444 shows 6♦ 6♥ (One Pair, Sixes) (Pre 51%, Flop 8%, Turn 5%)
IvicaIliev77 wins 4,107

So, the big stack is obviously shoving with at least 60% of his hands here imo. Seems weak.

What was your exact calling range here though?
I presume something like any pair, A5s+, K8s+, QTs+, JTs and maybe some lower suited connectors? A bit tighter off suit?

Patiently awaiting for your reply.
Sincerely, your biggest fan, VladimirN.

mate? when did u guys get married?

I respect you immensely, but this guy wasn't this wide ever, ever, EVER. Not on 15s, not 40-45 BBs deep.

In this situation, this guy might shove like AQ+, 22-QQ (22-55 less likely then others). Maybe even aces and kings. I assure you they are not as wide as you think. Too lazy to check but I really doubt that is good one 40 bbs deep, especially when you consider who shoved into who stack wise.

When was the last time you played 15s? I'd urge you not to insult me with the "5$ or less SnGs" section. If you don't know how fish on 15s play then don't comment on it.
Or are you blindly defending your friend here? If you said "he tilted" then that would be fine.

And yes, we are married and unlike other of his spouses (other people who post here daily, including you Milan and lt3) I'm the productive one who is pointing out his mistakes, so he can improve his play.

Just pls consider leavin this blog, dont spoil it, dont ruin it, u just dont come here with good intensions and that s rude sir...GL

If your intention was really to "help" OP then what's up with the obvious trolling tone of the post? I'm asking myself what you are trying to gain by posting this?

Guys don't pay attention to VladimirN, he is full of hatred towards me, I have stopped communicating with him some posts ago.
As far as education goes, that specific hand, very aggressive fish in game 3 bet shoved some hands before that one A10o vs my early position open (saw showdown because another opponent called him) , and he did that for over 30bb obviously which is retarded , he could have done many other things. I said many times, will say again, I don't plan to educate or give away free information here on my blog, if we discuss hands VladimirN will just gain free education and as you know that education comes at high price so don't even bother responding to his trolls and hate tone.

Onto the positive things...
I just played a session of new format, marked hands and am about to review all the spots. Later will play some turbos... Tomorrow I am picking up my new computer, very excited about that and by the end of the week true grind mode will happen (2 hours morning time + 6 hours minimum in the afternoon). I still think I can make up for lost grind time just have to sacrifice with more hours in the near future.

Have a productive day and see you around guys!

Yeah, when I look back at it, that post did look a bit trollish... even though I just tried to show just how over the top it was in an over-exaggerated way.

How people take my posts is up to them. Some might take my bluntness as constructive criticism and others might take it as an offense. I can't make you feel bad. It is you who choose to feel that way.

Regardless of my tasteless trollish tone, if you can't see a helpful hand in the middle of it and all you can see is trolling, then I feel sorry for you.

Well AJs as default would be fold to that 3bet shove for me. With reads why not, but without I would not assume to see stuff like A9 or KQ often at all. Much more likely some small/middle pocket or big Ax and from these middle pocket is most likely hand. Just from my personal experience.

Vs some opponents I am calling JJ+, AK but since this guy was overly aggressive fish that shipped over 40bb in previous blind level A10o, this was snap call for me was 100% positive I was way ahead of his range. Besides this I will take this call any day of the week (with proper read) to chip up and apply pressure to rest of the table since they will have big risk aversion vs me as big stack and I increase my chances of getting ITM.

i love how a 15s nit reg is trying to argue with me. seriously vladimir, go away. take a hint, you are not as good as you think you are.

Nit? That's a rather bold assumption to make, especially because we've never played against each-other. If I hadn't been running like I did, I'd be playing 60s and 100s alongside you. Well probably not because I select my tables, unlike certain people in this blog.

There is one especially obvious thing that will stop me from posting in here and it still didn't happen. Some of you almost got it but it's not quite right. So until that happens I'll keep posting my constructive criticism from time to time.

You said A8o-AK. A8-AT isn't happening ever for 40bbs. I stay with my AQ+. I'd also add JJ and QQ to your pp range.
Unlike ghaleon, you are either biased or acting on incomplete information.

You mean this 40bb hand with AT?

40bbs, 22bbs, what's the difference.

At that point he showed 2 hands. Here is the other one:

Doesn't seem particularly fishy to me.
This info you didn't know so it shouldn't count, but I played that guy on other 2 tables and in similar situations he showed QQ, AKs and AKo.

I don't even have to know the guy to say that he's very tight there, it's standard in that situation.
But regardless, saying that you're 100% sure your AJs is "way ahead of his range" based on a decent AT and standard AK shove is unjustified.
