Way to much equity to let this hand go. I’m shoving for sure.

@ Tazz

I think you mean you’re calling for sure, the SB has already shoved.

I don’t think the SB would do this with just say top pair, a hand like Kh 6d as it’s only a 7% chip gain for him and he’s risking 44% of his stack. Against that top pair no spade hand we are ahead, 52 – 48%.

As it is I think the SB, especially as weak, must also have a pair and spade. If he has the 6 with say the 10s then it’s a 50-50 flip. Even if he has a higher spade with bottom pair then it’s also a 50-50.

So in terms of pot odds this is an easy call. In terms of chip equity / prize structure I’ll leave that to the Wizard.

Thank you mr perfect. It actually a gain of around 10percent. And it’s a risk of 44.4 percent. Thanks

No problem, we are all on here to improve our respective games.

i call. his range is pretty open. i assume he has a spade or a pair, but not necessarily both, and the # of hands that are worse then ours in his range exceed the # of hands that are beating us

in addition, folding leaves us with a weak stack whereas winning this pot makes us close to chip leader. i dont think its much of a deliberation.

Voted fold. While we are short-stacked, I’d prefer to shove rather than call. The fold is based on the v being “weak”, which may indicate over-playing hands that are ahead. I’d put them on a better spade, maybe Qx, could even have an open-end, and/or top pair. If they had Ks or As, but believe a p/f raise would have been order. Rather not risk my stack in this sitch.

@Richard P

I work out Tazz is spot on about the chip gain. Where do you come up with 7% from?

I think this is on average the best opportunity I will have being the short stack. I can’t afford to fold here and let the blinds go through me again and the pot is giving such sweet odds.

Shoving by him is a weird play for a weak player. A bit more standard raise to put pressure on.

It’s very possible he has 2 overs to the board and a higher spade and can’t afford to see a turn cheap then have his equity chopped in half on a blank as he checks and you raise, so he is pre-empting that with an allin raise, plus guessing he has fold equity against a similar hand to ours.

In my opinion, he probably has a better hand than ours, but I’m guessing we have at least a 40% versus that range and we’ll probably have about that if we wait so I’ll go vs. his goofy move here.
