JHDS Event 1: Burning Money?2010 03 22
11:28 pm
I played in event 1 and this hand came up. Am I burning money here if I call? My thoughts were on a FT finish not a min cash. I know the play is +cEV but I'm unsure if its -$EV.

Runners: ~53
50 Paid
Avg Stack: 100K
Blinds: 8000/16000 - 2000 Ante

Villian MP: 250000
Hero SB: 140000

Folds to MP, MP moves all in, folds to SB.
Hero: Ad Kh

If I fold, I'm guaranteed to cash and I still have some room to move.
If I call and win, I'll be amongst the chip leads and should be able to go deep.
If I call and lose, I bubble.

I thought this was a standard caller but speaking to a few people (although they aren't poker elite) and they think its a fold.

So am I burning money by calling or am I burning money if I fold?

I just wanted to check whether I should be shoving these hands late with a 12BB stack.

~480 Runners
45 Paid, 54 left
Blinds: 400/800 Ante 100
Villain (38,246) 11/8 (36 Hands)
Hero (9,717 after BB) As6h
Folds to SB
SB raises to 2400
Hero: ??

Villain has been playing tight. The only hand i've see was his KK raise. If he limps, I'm happy to ship. I don't think I have any FE and his range would probably be A4s+, A7o+, KJ+, QJ, 44+ maybe J10.

Blinds: 400/800 Ante 100
Villain (26,565) 17/7 (45 Hands) in BB:
Hero (9717): 6c5h
Folds to SB
Hero: ??

I think he will need a strong hand to call off half of his stack. Is this too light to be shoving here? Is there ICM implications seeing I am close to the money?

Hi Guys,

I was in a hand last night and I just wanted to get some opinions on whether this is a call or not and if my hand ranges look right. This was a real spewy table - very weak (a lot of limps and folds to raises). I have been pretty active of late.

Sorry I don't have the HH.

Blinds: 250/500 with antes
UTG (4500) - Calls
2 more callers
Hero - CO (17000) - Raises to 3000 with 88.
Button (10000) - Shoves for 10K
Blinds fold
UTG calls and everyone else folds.

Pot = 18K and I need to call about 7K.

Hand Ranges:
UTG (Spewtard) - 55+,A8s+,ATo+,KJ+,QJ,JT
Button -JJ+,AQ+

Snap Call, Call or fold? Any other advice?

I was talking to a mate who played in the $550 Hachem deep stack (I know that was a while ago but I only spoke to him recently) and he told me about this hand.

It's the second level of the JHDS Main event.

Stacks
-------
Hero 23K (CO)
Villian 21K (UTG) - Villian has been playing fairly standard (raising and picking up one or two pots with c-bets on the flop).

Action
------------
Pre: Hero Qh Qd
UTG limps, 1 fold, MP1 limps, MP2 limps, 2 folds, Hero raises 700, 3 folds, UTG repops to 1700, 2 folds, Hero calls

Flop: (Pot ~3800)
6c4s2c
UTG bets 2200, Hero ???

Is this a simple fold? Has UTG telegraphed his range (KK+) with his limp raise?
