Message: [QUOTE="dallam, post: 6557788, member: 338743"] You bet 2.5bbs, you caught the smallest min-bet this deep (128-172bbs 5-max) from a stronger position and a call from BB. You are next to act now. I would like to ask first of all what you've done, if you would be dealt with these hands: AA or KK or QQ? I personally not playing deep games under 8-max. But my view on this exact game that you played, with 7228 enterants there's a small chance to win this, or doing extremely well. As long as bounties are involved, sooner or later, no matter how deep we are, as the blinds are going up mad, you 'll definitely see the stacked up players starting to hunting. As you said you may feel you play these games passive, which can indicate the fact, that if you not hit it by period, you may not be able to place yourself among the big stacks, and these stages you may struggle. So if we are in from such a deep moment, in my opinion its optimal to do a great effort to place ourselves in a great spot to coming up to the later stages, but to that its unavoidable to play pots small, but some of them definitely big. Fundriver pointed out, its not a proper 3bet at all, at least this deep and this table-structure. If you willing to open with 2.5bbs, do ever 4bbs scare you away pre? Or what hands is this bet targetting? Wrong word, cause its targetting nothing, therefore you can call with 22 or 23s as well. And the pot still remained small,so it's not even building up the pot at all, while you may just call this off, and not even 4-bet like you did not bet this hand. So what's this tiny 3-bet really for? And yes, as it was mentioned, its a fishy bet, and probably want you or others to block in a very weird way, letting some hands in this person's hand like: small pockets, any suited high-small cards to see the flop and maybe use on you the favourable position. If my read is wrong here, I don't care, cause we still have AKs, a monster hand, and why should be afraid really to 4-bet properly, maybe cut out a player in making 1v1? Only AA is ahead, but why BB could ever have AA or KK maybe even QQ, so we are definitely leading on one, and if BTN showed this wrong line this deep, why not calling our 4-bet still speculating the position this person have is enough for him, while we 're maybe even dominating, and will do in the whole party? Because the pre-moves were outplayed wrong, you may took down the pot, but a very small one. Were not getting closer to hit bounties, nor table-chipleading, nothing, just won 6K to 54K. There were plenty enterants, without any harm feelings cause it may sounded hard, I'm asking when do you want to place yourself higher, which hands? The less players are at your table, the bigger agression you should have. And this is a bounty game. Don't be afraid to fall sometimes, you rather would do with a balls deep game, which could also bring you to the top places in the right timings, rather to make the most safest ways. However in this occassion, as I already speculated, to a 4-bet it would be maybe only one stucking with you, so maybe its even safer to show the power of your great hand, and then slowing down if you miss it hard, or opp showing way too much interest in a questionable party. Good luck! :) [/QUOTE]
