Playing the SCOOP (L) $22 6-max, approx 3 hours in with around 18 x bb.
My image is reasonably tight and I have folded to a few pre-flop 4-bets having opened, however the villain hasn"t been at our table too long.
In this hand the villain opens for a min-raise from MP and I call from the BB with 78o - we are heads up.
I check the 256 rainbow flop and he leads out with a pot sized bet.
I shove over the top with my open-ended straight draw.
Thoughts?
hmmm 18bb at approx 300/600 ante 70 and you check raise all in with basically no fold equity ..
pre flop pot 9 handed is 1530 , 2xbb minraise and u call ... flop 256r pot is 3330 and he bets pot and u check raise 18bb
10800 , so now to villain the pot is 17460 and it costs him 7470 to call [2.33 to 1 ... 30% equity]
u may think he is awful to call u but u really need to pokerstove what he might think your range would be here , his perceived awful call may not look quite so bad...
u have no read on him , he has not seen u folding to 3bets as he has only just joined the table ... You are only 18bb deep and your flatting oop with no reads and then choose to check raise after seeing a pot bet and expect a fold a high percentage of the time???
why is not shoving pre the bettter option??
why is not a go+go not a better option??
why is not folding pre a better option??
if u feel u have to call 1bb oop why is not seeing a flop and donk betting not a better option??
do u think choosing to check raise with your stack size after villain bets pot is the best option??
whats your plan if u miss the flop with your fairly shallow stack??
board - :
:
villain - 54s 51.930% [54o is 50.4% against a strongish range he might put u on to check raise]
yourself - 22+,87s,76s,AJo-ATo,87o 48.070%
