CARMINA248 (MP2): BB = 1.4, t1697
sp.stars (CO): BB = 16.4, t19669
diego.GR�IO (BTN): BB = 15.0, t17982

Hero (UTG+2): BB = 45.7, t54785
jbouuuuuu (MP1): BB = 51.5, t61790

Pre Flop: (t2925) Hero is UTG+2 with Q of hearts Q of clubs
ruffrydalath calls t1200, glifberg6 raises to t7051 all in, Hero raises to t12902, 4 folds, pierreguay raises to t47904 all in, 3 folds

Hero?

Villain is 16/10 over 100 hands and is a winning player..

Not at all worried about UTG limp as he was a very passive limping fish

Is this an easy call? or fold?

This is interesting since your raise is so small over the All In. I f I am villain I would be asking myself why you raised from 7K to 12K. If I see that I am thinking that either you are veyr strong or you simply are trying to iso cheaply.

Given that he might be doing this wider if you assume that he sees your raise as an Isolation I might be inclined to Call.

You are still ahead against a range of 99+,AQs+,AKo (56%-44% if I stoved it correctly). Even taking 99 out you are still ahead.

I always have a plan. Why did you raise to 12K and then not be sure what to do? If I where to raise to iso I would only do so with the intention of calling off. If I was going to put iso like this and fold I might as well flat/fold. I'm getting it in here for those reasons.

im calling here all day. your raise is so small it looks a little weak even though you might be inducing with AA or KK, i think you're gonna be shown TT,JJ and most likely AK, so at worst you are flipping. Call

given he is 16/10, ur like 48% against JJ+, AK. ur getting the price here with said range. obv you need to adjust the range based on a bunch of info we dont know. also, some might say there are merits to not flipping 40bb stacks but unless this is a FT were ICM comes into play and/or we have an edge on a soft field……i take the “flip” here cuz a 90bb stack will go a long way to running much deeper.

I agree with Isaac your iso raise looks weak, and so the villian may be inclined to shove with a wider range because of this.

Im calling and hoping to see 99, TT, JJ and if its AK we are flipping.

I think you have to call….if I did the math right we need 33% equity. If we gave the Villan a range of KK+,AKs,AKo against QQ we have 40% equity. He could be shoving a little wider than this but not much IMO. Click call and grind up that 6k if you lose, too much in the pot.

Calling here as well for all the reasons already mentioned. The biggest point being your iso def could look weak getting villian to shove possibly down to 88 thinking you might fold and theres a ton of dead money in middle.
