Hand from the team event.

[Mikeyboy9361]

Thoughts on this hand please.
Recently moved to a new table and had lost about 10K before the move in a button raise v BB battle. So with about 17k blinds just gone up to 400/800/100(?). Probs about 90 people left.
Sat in late position, it is folded to MP who sits with about 35/40K, he raises to 2.2K, I look down at 99.
Whats your move?

[Marty719]

Any further info on MP?  Do u know him?  Does he know u?  Is he young in a hoody?  Is he old in a knitted jumper?

[scouse3465]

Ship !

You on 21 bb and can increase your stack by 20-25 % if all fold . If get called hope for ak, aq for double up or if bigger pair prey for 2 outer lol

Depending on player aswell 88 , 77 maybe lower, may call thinking they in a race.

What did you do ?

45 min Clock?

[Mikeyboy9361]

Yep 45 minute clock, its about 9pm ish! I know the player, but have never played live against him, he is about 45-50 ish (I think !!!!???)

By knowing him , do u know anything about his image, or does he have any views on urs?  In a vacuum, shove is probs best, but w/ an aggro dynamic I like 4,700/call to induce.  Would rather fold than flat.

[Mikeyboy9361]

Knew very little of the way he played, but would have thought of him as solid rather than aggro. Don"t know of his views on my play, we have come across each other on line occasionally, with no obvious dynamics.

All your chips

[ronaldo07]

As long as there is no monster or short stacks in blinds I prob make it 5k. Don"t like the shove cos u r mostly flipping/ behind when called so u have to get it thru a big % of time.

So are you really planning to put nearly a 1/3 of your chips in, fold to a shove and leave yourself with about 15bb?

[TheSnapper]

Seems really close tbh, we have a 20 bb stack far from the points and $$ so not in a huge hurry to take small edges.

Our read "solid rather than aggro" suggests his mp opening range is tightish, that range is the key factor in our decision.

If its something like 77+,ATs+,KJs+,QJs,ATo+,KQo .......

3 betting will find a fold 50+% so if we bet 4,700 ~27% of our stack we win 4300 when we find a fold. Its probably marginally +ev but is a high variance option, if villain flats we have position but again, high variance.

I prefer 3 bet to ~ 4700 over jamming and dont hate folding.

Edit: Jamming will turn a profit.
