Live deepstack - Queens in early 3bet pot

(1/5) > >>

deanp27:
ok here"s an exam question - please give thought process etc

Just like some views on this - this happened to me early on in a DTD deepstack - 45 minute clock, 10,000 chips and blinds are 25/50 - about 20 minutes in. Assume we all have c10k stacks.

Blinds are seat 8&9 - i am in seat 5(hijack MP). Seat 2 has been very active and raised c25% of pots early from various positions(example A8s from UTG), seat 4 has been quiet but has made it obvious that he doesn"t rate seat 2.

Seat 2 makes it 200 and seat 4 makes it 600 - i look down at  qd qh

1. what is your move and plan for the rest of the hand depending upon action?



2. Can you also consider how you would play the following starting hands:

AA
KK
JJ
22-TT
AK

hmmm lots of questions there dean :o
QQ - seat4 is the only ?? here , is he 3bet raising to isolate light or is he strong, its still early and we are deep and i dont really want to see a flop 3way with QQ so i"d make a std ish 4bet to 1800 to 2000 and if seat4 5bets i fold if seat2 gets funky and 4 folds i"m more than happy to take 2 on.. if both just call i"m not thrilled unless a Q comes on the flop ;D
AA KK meh i"m happy enough playing post in position with these so 50/50 just call/4bet
JJ AK meh horrible spot to 4bet and to just smooth ,, set mining JJ would be ok if was sure seat2 will call as well but i"m more in favour of folding both JJ and AK here
22-TT not really an ideal spot to set mine i tend to want around 20x implied odds ,, so like JJ i"d fold them as well..

what did u end up doing dean??

deanp27:
not gonna tell you what i did yet until i get more responses - i don"t just want 1 word answers

response is good ty

i will say that i have had these sort of spots alot in very deepstacked comps such as the DTD anniversary cup etc and i think they are interesting - i seem to get queens 4x more than i get kings or aces in these comps lol.

so you are 4bet and felting vs seat 2 and 4bet/folding vs seat 4????

noble1:
sure if seat2 dude is raising 25% , me thinks is range is wide enough to call a shove pre if he makes it, if 2 smooths and 4 gets outta the way then post flop depending on 2"s line of play i"m more than happy to have position ;)

are u seat 2 by chance? ::)  lol

deanp27:
no i am seat 5 and reads are kind of unreliable as we are only 20 or so minutes into the comp.
