During WSOP in Vegas they have these events and its a 15k start stack with 30 min levels. Fields have been 1k+ all week with 1st being in the $40 – $50k range.

Here we go:

 

Villain is assumed live player (lots of limping, and other str8 forward otherwise with 3x open ect.)
My image is TAG and Ive only showndown strong hands.

 

I have 46k
Villain 27k

Blinds 100/600/1200

 

I limp 67ss from MP (table was limpy and passive post, so I didnt think Id get raised much with 1 limper in front of me too)

So guy behind me comes in and Villain on BTN makes it 3200.

Blinds fold, fold, I call, fold. – HU with Villain now

 

Flop comes As9s5

 

I check, Villain bets 3600 in to a pot of ~10k.

 

Hero??

If you really want to play this spot, I would raise pre and iso the first limper. Hand becomes more easier to play.

 

As played, I would just check-raise get it in. It would be so week to just call. Check-raising flop you can take that pot even with 7 high.

yes, I dont think overlimping here is the optimal play pre, especially when you are planning to call a raise OOP.

when you are gonna call a raise why dont YOU make the initial raise?  it makes the hand a ton easier to play

 

hands like this played like this lead to situations like this 😉

Agree with the above posts in general. But I don’t mind overlimping at such a passive table as you have described. That being said you should be folding to this raise preflop IMO. You’re just not getting the implied odds you need, and you’re going to be OOP for the rest of the hand. As a general rule of thumb I would want the effective stack to be atleast 52K for me to call here (20 x the 2.6K you have to call). Although you can probably get away with slightly smaller stacks if you have a specific read on your opponent, or if you’re planning on throwing some bluff raises in there postflop.

As played pre, there’s a play I like to make in this spot. There’s 8500 in the pot, and he has ~24K behind. I would lead out weak into him for about 2K hoping to induce a raise, and then just show him the pile. This allows you to get more money in the pot, and gives you the last action (which is always nice when you only have 7-high). Lots of live players will even raise-fold an ace in his spot. And if he just flat calls your lead then that’s OK too, you get a cheap look at the turn and can go from there.

Any Scenarios where we are folding a flop like this?

I also agree that their stack is prob a bit shallow but I felt they were easy to play post, and if I hit big and they did I was certain Id get it All. Thought this hand was also good to play against their range in this spot.

Potentially a bit confident, but the flop texture made it much more interesting too.

If you are going to play these type of hands, you basicly looking for some draw. So I wont be thinking about folding 🙂

by overlimping these types of hands i think you never get the implied odds you hope for, because if you overlimp then get crazy when you smash the flop people are always wary because your hand is kinda face up. 

 

so i would just iso the limper, it gives you control of the hand, and it now gives you two ways to win the pot, smash the flop, or pick up dead money due to the initiative you now have

I would never limp here.  If I'm coming in the pot, I'm opening it up with a raise here to 2400 at least, depending on others still to act.  I don't think he 3bets you, so he flats.  With that flop, I'm always cbetting……….. and go from there.  If he does 3bet me pre, I'm folding.  I might play the hand, but not trying to get crazy with that hand OOP.
