This seems pretty simple but i'm not 100% sure what my i should be reraising it all in.

No Limit Hold'em Tournament T50/T100
Buy-in: $0.45+$0.05 USD Hold'em No Limit
PokerStars
8 players
Formatted by pokercopilot.com – Mac OS X hand history analysis and tracking

Stacks:
UTG – UTG (T125)
UTG+1 – UTG+1 (
T2,380)
MP – MP (
T3,020)
MP2 – MP2 (
T1,610)
CO – Hero (
T3,310)
BTN – BTN (
T2,720)
SB – SB (
T1,945)
BB – BB (
T1,765)

Preflop: (T150, 8 players) Hero is CO with 9♥9♠
UTG raises to T125 (all-in), 1 fold, MP calls T125, 1 fold, Hero calls T125, BTN calls T125, SB raises to T1,945 (all-in)

Now thinking about it it was a shitty decision for folding 99 here (which i did) but what should i be reraising with?

88+ A8s+ A9o+ KJs+? I like just calling after the dude in MP calls instead of raising and i only have the decision of reraising or folding yes? calling seems bad cause of the guy left to act with 2,720. Is even this range too tight?

I struggle in these type of spots at the moment also. 

 

I think here, I reraise, maybe to about 300-400, if the SB was then to fold we can play flop in position if MP calls 3bet. But if we then face the reraise all in from SB, it puts us in a tough spot.   Probably is villain dependant, and if MP were to call the all in.  Do you use a hud?  The reraise all in is for a big part of our stack, and we would still have 30bbs if we get away from the hand.  If you call, you are likely flipping at best but could be up against TT+, I dont know if villain would be shoving here with 88.

 

I had a look through your profile and im pretty much in the same position as you ATM.  Im playing the 50c turbos on Stars also, just really to gain experience of difference spots and learn the game, cheaply and not having to invest to much $s to begin with.

 

See your from Glasgow, i'm just outside, in EK.  Do you play live anywhere ever?

 

Cheers

I think the villain here could be jamming pretty wide.

He knows that the short stack only has to have a weak hand to GII with here. With 125 chips its probably good practice for him to gamble with all pairs and many suited speculative hands plus broadway cards etc. The calls from 3 players behind suggest they all have middling hands unless someone is getting tricky so with 20bbs back and a load of potential dead money in the pot I think the squeezer jams maybe all pairs, JTs+, a lot of aces, QJo+ etc.

Given this I think you can probably call with maybe 77+, KQ+, ATs+ in my opinion although I have not run exact numbers.

Apologies, your question is what should you be re-raising with. I have dealt with calling off as played.

Personally, I would re-raise here with a similar range as to my calling range, maybe a bit wider to isolate small stack, and make it probably 400 to isolate the small stack. Assuming everyone folds and then the SB still goes all-in I'm not sure it alters your calling range much as you will be getting a pretty good price to call and SB will know that you could be fairly light in trying to isolate the small stack.

I think ^^ is right. Me saying hes not doing it with 88 was pretty wrong. Wtih 2 people calling a shove of < 2bbs, he could easily be shoving almost any pair, so 88 is defo in his range here

hi thanks for the replies, welcome to the site jantee! nice to hear from someone playing the same games as me, the live casino games, the Alea games are ok played 3 times or so and then the genting i played the sunday day game which was fun just a bit too expensive and timeconsuming for me atm (student 🙁 haha) theres also a pub game every monday fiver buy in thats good, its in a new pub no i cant remember the name but if u look up harley full house poker on facebook you should find it, would u be keen for swapping a few hand histories of deep runs in these 45 turbos? yes i do use a HUD just not on my own computer atm to check the actual numbers

I think the ranges are wide as well its just that i was pretty sure i was gonna get called by the small blind and was wondering if i wanted to put in a huge chunk of my stack 3 ways. But i think i agree with 88+ but can see me folding 77 in the future, once i get on my laptop actually ill do some number crunching for hands and see what i can find

Nice man.  Only times I have played in the casino have been a few times where I qualified at pub games.  My uncle runs a few pubs and that's how I started out playing.  Would like to get a chance to play some of the weekend tournies now n again but other things like work/study/gf/cash sometimes dont allow it.  Prefer playing online these days becuase you can get much more hands in and its easier to learn from.  Although playing at one of my uncles pubs in Hamilton tonight, wasn't really wanting to but the GF does and shes the boss!  Also top of the league in there just now (shit brag) so would be good to keep that up.

 

Aye mate I'd def be up for swapping HH's.  Prob wont get a chance now to play online til maybe Sunday now, maybe before but unsure.  Managed to get in 13 games last night (inc SNG a satty to MicroMillions ME which didnt go well), only made two FT's, finishing 8th and 3rd.  Whenever I next get a chance to get a few hours in I will pick some hands to send over.  Its pretty much only the 45m 50c games I am playing just now so exactly same as you.

 

Cheers
