Final Table bubble, 2 chipleaders

(1/2) > >>

deanp27:
go on then, i"ll post a hand that i think about alot but have never posted for others thoughts. I guess we"ll do it in stages.

note - not doing this as a brag but was a fairly interesting hand

Scenario - £1k event at DTD, day 3 and 10 players left from 300, so final table bubble. We are five handed on two tables and the tournament had £4k for out next, 6k for 9th, going up to £93k for the winner. All of this is big money to me so fairly unchartered territory. Deep stacks, EPT structure and 60/75 minute clock.

I have been chipleader since start of the day and have c1,450,000. second place is on my right is "wadey" ashraf for those who frequent DTD. Historically (not in this comp) he always gets there vs me but with position i have taken quite a few smallish pots postflop without anything really funky going off, he has only been at my table for about 30 minutes though.

However some guy has just 5bet all in pre against him with JJ and he had aces. There are now 2 shortish stacks on the FT bubble. He is just raking in the chips and has c1,300,000. As he is stacking up he looks down at his cards and raises to 48k at 8k/16k/2k. I notice this is slightly larger than his normal raise. I have  7c 8c and elect to call on the button, i did ponder 3betting but thought flatting with this hand was better.

Flop  9c tc  ts and Wadey leads for 90k which also looks rather large to me for his normal c-bet sizing.

what do you do??

George2Loose:
I would like to think at this stage I would fold pre but probably would peel as you did

I would call and probably give up if I miss the turn and he bets big

noble1:
90,000 into 130,000 , if his tendencies on cbetting suddenly change i"d favour a good player to be mostly betting for value here with some bluffs occasionally on this texture 80bb ish effective.
Like George i"d call and peel another , i"d do it with a plan in mind but as you want to do the hand in stages i"ll hold back.
When playing him in the past have you any reads/history Dean that he would play an overpair like this post-flop no matter the texture? Also how do you think villain perceives you and your image at the time? [and vice versa]


i"m just for more info..

edit - as i was replying in Dan"s thread i thought about your pondering the 3bet , i"d prefer this pre especially if you think villain will start to open less giving u the opportunity to open more, all on the dynamics at the time but worth considering imho.

Marty719:
Callings usually good - but what does he think about ur flatting tendancies?  Do you float a lot on these flops?
