Daily Hand Quiz

I don’t appear to be in the majority here, but I’m calling here and shipping the turn when he fires again, almost regardless of what comes out. It’s early in the tourney, and (esp. in a 6-handed situation) the best thing you can do for yourself is take out an ultra-aggro player, to allow yourself to sit back for awhile.

Even though initially I might hesitate if the turn is a 10 or higher, I’m ultimately gonna ship against this guy and if he spiked it I suppose it’s time to fire up another tourney.

I’m getting chips in now while I’m pretty sure I’m ahead. Do not want to be passive and allow an overcard to come on the turn basically for free. Make it about 1k.

I’d raise to $1,200, hoping to end it and avoid an over-card. Strong hand 6-way, plus the tight image should get it done. Doubt that board helped them, but with a very agg player, you are never sure. I think the pot bet may be an indicator that the flop did not help them.

Now, if the V RRAI what is our reaction? Don’t know how much the buy-in was, but leaning toward calling given their image.

Not so sure I would call a reship. TT-AA is a small part of range to c-bet the flop, but it becomes a much bigger part of his range that ships to our re-raise. I can’t see much we’re beating that he’d shove there against our image.

Agree it is close, and the buy-in amt also plays a factor for me.

I don’t think AA or KK would bet the pot on that flop, so we have 3 hands to worry about imo. There is a lot of spacing with that low board. Perhaps 88 (and 77?) may get the agg excited, as well as big overs pressuring our tight image to not call AI w/mid pr.

“as well as big overs pressuring our tight image to not call AI w/mid pr.”

Exactly what my first read was with a “Very aggro” villain in this spot. This feels like a classic c-bet with air.
I agree the buy-in plays a part, but I think if we trust our read on V, we’re still ahead here and fading 2 overs for a big double up.

I see this as AK.

Regardless, I’m raising to 1100, prolly fold to a shove… maybe not. Can’t see him overshoving w/ AK tho…
