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!
