Blinds go up every 20 minutes. About 2 minutes into this level (7).

Info about players in this hand – So we have been playing now for a little over 2 hours. I have good reads on both the limp callers. Overall, the tournament field is very soft. This was a tourney at Hollywood Park in LA area.

UTG – tight passive. So UTG has been pretty tight the whole time, I saw him call down with 4 7 offsuit when he hit middle pair on the flop once, but other than that, he isn’t capable of making moves and is really tight, not getting involved in a lot of hands and pretty much calling when he hits any piece of the board and folding if he doesn’t.

MP – super-nit. Has literally only played one other hand the whole time he was at the table. His stack started with 25K I believe and he blinded all the way down to 8K and shoved with pocket 4’s and tripled up because two people called him with Ace rags.

My Image – So I have been playing pretty tight aggressive. Have won a decent amount of pots but also, showed down some hands which showed the table I was capable of holding a very wide range. IE, played 3 6 suited in late position, flopped a straight and called somebody’s all-in. Also – tried to bully an older Asian guy off a pot but he called me down and we split the pot with middle pairs of 7’s.

So basically, the flop below could very possibly smack my range a good amount of the time with the image I have built for myself at this table. I have definitely been the most aggressive at the table when playing pots, but probably played about 28% of hands total.

Blinds – 400/800

Ante – 100

UTG – Limps for 800 (stack -20K)

MP – Limps for 800 (stack – 24K)

-folds around to me in cut-off with 2 limpers and blinds still to act

-when it gets to me there is 3,700 in pot

Hero CO – raise to 3K (stack – 32K) (hand 6d 6s)

Blinds fold, UTG calls, MP calls

Pot – 8,400

Flop – 2s 4d 7s

UTG checks, MP checks – At this point, I think there is a very high probability my pocket 6’s are ahead of both of these guys. There are two spades on the board and almost everybody at this table was chasing and overplaying on drawing hands.

I figure if I Stuffy McBaker it down their throats, and go all-in there is a very good chance they both fold and I take down the 8,400. If I do get a caller, I’m getting called by draws and overpairs, along with top pair. Although I think it is very unlikely either of them have a 7 in their hand.

Hero shoves all-in

UTG folds, super-nit MP thinks for a couple minutes then calls.

Do you guys think the play I made here was reasonable? Please provide insight.

I will let you guys know what super-nit rolls over once I get some feedback, I appreciate it, thanks!

Also, both of them trying to limp pre-flop makes it highly unlikely they have Aces, kings, queens, jacks, or even A,K IMO. Neither of these guys would attempt to limp with the goods.

Not a fan of your pre-flop raise, I think you got quite lucky to end up with a flop where you could put your stack in. But yeah, given that this (very rare) flop is one of the best case scenarios for you, and even when you can get it the best you can do is jam 2x pot and hope for a fold, well, I think that goes to show why this isn’t a good pre-flop raise.

I reckon you have to bet on the flop and maybe it is best to shove.

Andrew why do you think it is not good to raise in this case pre flop with 66 ?

Foucault, I appreciate your insight. How would you have played the hand? If I limp as well, the blinds are definitely calling and we are 5 ways into the flop. If it checks around then, do you bet? What do you think would have been the ideal way to play?

You think just set mining here in this spot is ideal and playing small? What about if I have 88’s or better? At what point are you raising with a pocket pair pre-flop instead of limping in the cut-off??

Some random thoughts.

Eights is about right in terms of the cutoff for raising. Are you raising sixes for value in front of two limpers? I want a multiway pot because the value with smaller pocket pairs when I’m not first in is from set mining. If I didn’t limp preflop it’s because I’m expecting someone behind me to raise. My question is, if you expect someone to raise, should you fold the sixes?

My postflop game isn’t good enough to know what to do when the flop misses me and I have a smaller pocket pair. The good news is you have some good reads on your villains, which should help you make a more informed decision.

Nice post, Joel. That’s not a leak in your “multiway game”, there really is no good way to play 66 when three people see the flop and you don’t hit a set. That’s why if you don’t have much chance of winning it pre-flop, you’re better off seeing the flop as cheaply as possible.
