We are just in the money at this stage.

 

Villian = No real read, been quiet but only 20 hand sample.

I have raised a few pots before hand so my image isn't the tighest but still generally tight.

Pre Flop: (t5250) Hero is UTG+1 with x of diamonds x of clubs

CLAUDEDUBOIS raises to t7000, Hero raises to t67549

 

I definitely misplayed this hand and probably should have just flatted to his UTG open but anyway:

 1. What is the worst hand you are shoving here

2. In Villian's shoes, what is the weakest hand you are calling with? is AQo/TT too loose or fine?

Given that you think this is a tight player (or at least that is where your information is leading you to believe) I am not going to 3bet jam him very light. There is no reason to believe at this point that he is opening anything outside of his tight range. I disagree with your thought on flatting here, you have <20bb's. There are only 2 ways I am playing a hand here

1. Fold

2. Shove

That being said from here against this UTG raiser I am probably doing this with JJ+, AK+. As I develop more specific information this range will adjust accordingly. For your second question, you should be jamming very strong, but from this position with that chip stack I am going to call with my opening range. I can't really see folding a 20bb stack opening UTG, this is what I am looking for, someone to spaz and jam into me. My guess is that with this stack size for a tight player you are looking at QQ+, AKs, maybe AQs, KQs, but that is about it. I don't think you are going to get lucky and see a TT or something like that in there very often. The other thing to consider about his range here is that he is opening and there are a bunch of short stacks to act after him in the 10-30bb range, so he can't be terribly afraid of playing for his whole stack here. Makes me wary when they do this.

JJ+ and AK sounds about right to me. I probably fold TT and AQs.

If he's aware of stack sizes he's never opening light in this spot unless he's been semi-active, which he has not.

Unless you have AA, not flatting was the correct decision.

Great advice, thanks.

 

I had JJ and shipped it vs his AQo, he hits.

 

I did agree with JJ+ AK+ for shoving over his UTG open.

I then started to think more about it and thought that JJ seems a little marginal vs a very tight opener.

I just dont think this guy is ever pissing around.

 

Probably just being results orientated but I remember when this hand occured I knew I was going to be in bad shape vs this guy, a slight underdog vs his calling range. (and I doubt hes ever folding).

I didn't think this guy would call with AQo but after tanking he did. JJ seems pretty much like TT here, hence the reason I wanted to just call, but looking back that would have been the worst option, and folding it sucks, but in this spot I honestly believe JJ=TT here.
