TT in the SB after a raise and re-raise.

(1/5) > >>

REvans84:
Hey,
I was just wondering what some of you would of done in this situation.
Home game - 5 players. Winner takes all.
It was our 2nd game and we started with 5000 chips this time around.

Level 1 (25/50) 20 Min clock. Approx 18 minutes in.
Guy UTG+1 (Cutoff) does his standard raise of 4x BB to 200. (Stack of 5000)
Guy on button re-raises to 1000. (Stack of 5000)
I"m in the SB with TT. (Stack of 5400)

Guy UTG+1 is a good player. He likes to raise alot with connecting cards.
Guy on the button is very aggressive. He 3 bets light alot! I"ve seen him 3 bet small pairs, any ace and any pocket paint/broadway cards.

Do I fold, call or shove?

AMRN:
You can"t call - you"re out of position after the flop, and it is highly likely the flop will not be favourable to TT

So, only options are re-raise (min-raise will commit you to pot, so may as well shove the lot), or fold and find a better spot.

It comes down to how you read the guys, and if you get either of them to give you some info. If the second guy had just flat called, I would be raising for a squeeze, but think I would probably be wary of his substantion re-raise.

If your shove is called, you are probably racing at best, and possibly dominated. So it comes down to whether you believe both of the other guys will fold to a shove.

I"m folding.

Spot on that man .....-- I fold and let them fight it out

Mikeyboy9361:
I agree entirely with the above. 10s don"t play well against a raise, and a re raise, you have got to give credit for over cards at worst, so where does that leave you on a flop with picture cards or better.
Fold and wait for a better spot, position is king!

TopPair2Pair:
I shouldnt really put my 2 pence in to this as its probably worth about -10 pence! However here goes - pls dont linch me! (I owe u 10p).

Probably all the other comments will say fold but I love playing from the SB as long as you pick ur plays astutely. You get to act first which isn"t textbook hold"em but if I am going to play out of position then its in the SB!!!!

Plus my Ten"s held up very favourable for me (3 times) last night in a live sng last night so I am slightly biased as it is.

If I think UTG+1 doesn"t have a re raise in him and neither of them have pocket overapairs then i"m calling with a view to negotiate the flop, and act first if the board comes ragerty.

Some will say this more tournement play as aposed to home game but its worth a crack imo, you have to get the edge somehow and at the end of the day if your strong enough to get away from it  early then your only going to be 600 off your starting 5k.
