Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6926917, member: 397965"] Preflop Q6s is not a standard open from MP+1. So why are you calling with it, when someone else has already opened from MP+1? The way, we determine a calling range, is, that we take the range of hands, we would open from Villains seat, and then we fold the worst of them. This is the starting point. Then we make adjustments based on knowing something about the opponent and ICM. Here MP+1 is the table chip leader and the only player, who can bust you. This mean, you want to play less hands against this player not more, since he can apply a lot of pressure to you postflop. So your calling range here should be narrower than normal and certainly not wider. Even a hand like QJs would be a reasonable fold to simply stay out of the chipleaders way and make it into the money. Flop This is why, we dont call with suited junk preflop. Now you have top pair but no kicker, and any hand, which is betting for value, has you crushed. You also have SB left to act behind you, so calling here is certainly not something, I would be excited about. But I guess, you kind of have to do it as played. Turn Now you picked up a flushdraw, and therefore its fine to call again as played. It is a pretty large bet though, which I am not particularly happy about. But a Q or 6 could also be outs for you, so you still have to continue. River Now you chop with QT, Q9 and Q8, but I dont think, thats to relevant, because those hands are likely not jamming for value, so you are purely bluff catching now. I would never be in this spot, because I would have folded preflop. But if the opponent is a good player, who understand how to apply pressure, I guess, you have to go down with the ship and call here hoping, that he will show up with some total airball bluff. Results Obviously he got kind of lucky to hit a 2-outer on the turn. But even so you 100% did this to yourself by calling the table chipleader preflop with suited junk. [/QUOTE]
