Daily Hand Quiz

I’m taking the opportunity to see this flop cheaply and calling. This figures to be the last such opportunity and I want one last chance to outplay my opponents after the flop.

(Good players always prefer to see flops rather than just play Kill Phil, which reduces the edge you get from your skill.)

calling is a bad move. you end up out of position with less chips then the size of the starting pot. which means you basically have to shove the flop if you hit giving away that you hit it, or check fold if you miss, giving away a chunk of your stack unnecessarily. Its unlikely that anyone makes a play with air if you check a flop you connect with, so checking will give them free chances to improve postflop, just like it will with a preflop flatcall. This is a shove/ fold scenario preflop, and i voted shove. If youre worried about a monster, theyll still have it if you hit a flop while dominated and get the money in later, might as well push weaker hands out now before they hit a rag flop.

I’ll shove. An ace 4-handed is pretty strong and you are oop to call. At worst your hand is a coin-flip to an under-pair. If the button is slow-playing a monster, so be it … have < 5 bbs left anyway.

“Good players always prefer to see flops rather than just play Kill Phil, which reduces the edge you get from your skill.”

Whatever element of skill remains on a 4-handed flop when you have barely 4 BB behind is certainly outweighed by the fold vig of a push (UTG & button will get less than 2:1 for a call).

With even 10BB behind I agree with pokerincome, but this short it’s push or fold, with no exceptions.

call,then push all in on the flop whatever comes

obvious limp to see the flop, no need to risk your stack yet. If you hit your Ace, or if TT is top pair on board, you oughta shove. 4flush i shove also

matt, that is the dumbest thing i’ve ever heard.

I concur with cityborn here; you can not call. It is raise/fold as flip said. Given our stack size of 3M, this is probably the best hand we’ll get in the 3 hands (button, UTG, BB), and we can’t afford to lose another BB. If we fold, and the BB checks and hits his cards 20-30%, then we are quite screwed. If not, then we have merely delayed the 50/50 confrontation between you and the BB over who bubbles first.

Also, you aren’t just playing to get third in the SnG: if you raise allin, are called, and win, you will be back in the hunt. If you aren’t called, you will gain a sorely need 3.5 BB.

Shove.

the reason i pushed cos if i call i pretty much have 2 push post-flop reguardless of what comes out. so might as well push now and make the others make a decsion

M of less than four, this is a no-brainer. Shove and see what happens. You don’t have the chips to be donking around.

U go allin in, no need to be fancy about your play when u r short stack and u can almost double up your stack just from taking the blinds without even being called,and in case you r called, AT suited is a very strong hand both in headsup and in a short handed table!

[Reply]

if u push u will get called maybe by both players.. and 1 i believe will have atleast a pair..

i would just call if i hit i push if i dont i fold.. i will end up with the same stack as the bb and fight it out for 3rd!
