So, what happened? Who won the hand?

I folded. I can’t call a third of my stack, certainly can’t can’t raise 65% of my stack. I want to bet when I know I have the best of it.

Call and get it in on a blank turn. Most of the high stakes FT players are aggressive idiots. No way am I folding this. I just call to give my opponent a chance to bluff off more money to me.

Why go all in? How is that the most popular move? its not a tournament, its a cash game…either raise or fold imo..that depends on the kind of player he is. Calling is a bad move because if he calls and the turn is blank your either beat and losing all your money (beat by a set/higher2pair/str8..unlikely sure but could happen). Or hes beat inwhich case ur not going to get any more money out of it. If turn is club your going to fold unless you make some wild bluff.

Calling wont get you any more money, lets him see a free card..bad move. Folding is good depending on the kind of player he is. Raising is good in most cases I think..atleast if he calls you know exactly where u stand.

I would move all-in here.
I have to think that in this situation there is a good chance that my opponent has one of three possible hands.
Case 1: AA,KK,QQ. 30%
Case 2: AJ, AT (with a club) 40%
Case 3: any club 25%

Overall, I think I win about 62% of the time
This ignores the fact that he could have junk (or a monster), or he could fold. On average it is a break-even call for him (pot odds v hand odds).

“Call and get it in on a blank turn. Most of the high stakes FT players are aggressive idiots. No way am I folding this.”

Calling is awful. We’re giving a practically free card when just about half the deck is a scare card for our hand. It’s either shove or fold IMHO. If he calls we’re flipping at best…so I don’t mind a fold if you can’t afford the variance. On the other hand we are sitting in for Townsend who isn’t exactly short on cash…so I might just shove here.

And as for these FT players being aggressive idiots…durrrr is up like $1 mil over the last couple of months. He’s probably one of the top 15 cash game players in the world…I think he knows how to play poker a little better than you do.

Gotta say I went all-in. There wasn’t much info behind this but I was reading it as a big Ax or maybe overpair in the opponent’s hand, likely with a flush draw, after that big reraise. Maybe I just play too many trappy types. I push hoping to get him off the draw and if he calls I’ve still got an edge, and about 5-1 to boat out . . . Call’s no good, though. Either you’re good or you’re already out of it — if you’re going to fold do it before you put another 20k in.

The hand history above is incorrect. The flop was not all clubs, but just two. Meaning that the club flush was not yet there.

I’m not sure I like taking a flip for my stack, so I like a call here and shoving a blank turn.

Go all in my answer here… Not a tournament,okay ?? LOL Even if you do the min raise, you just built a 100k pot leaving you with a 50k stack OOP. push or fold would be my only two options and folding is pretty weak. A push will offer him less than 2-1 an easy fold unless he is holding KQ with a club redraw or a made flush. In case he does have a flush you have roughly a 22% of filling up. Didn’t do the EV work but I think pushing is best.

Yeah they are aggressive, but thats how to play good poker. Playing passively is what fish do……..
