The opinions seemed to be split about 50/50 for shove or fold. Almost everyone said hand #2 fold and hand #3 call. Thank you everyone for your comments on these hands! I think it is pretty unanimous about hands #2 and #3. If I miss the flop I will still be in a great spot because of my positional advantage. He could just be defending his blind and trying to send us a message that we can't try to push him around and steal his blinds. Our opponent knows we are opening up pretty wide from LP and doesn't figure us for JJ. If I made the wrong fold here I'm ok with that because I will make the right fold 9 out of 10 times. I'll fold preflop with my QQ assuming we are both deep stacked.Īt the micros you gotta have the discipline to lay down huge hands.
I would fold my QQ in this spot because even if I flop an overpair I could still be drawing to a 2-outer and lose my entire stack. If I am ever 4-bet by a NIT I immediately think AA or KK.
Hand #2 is very similar in how I would play it.Ī NIT from MP is opening up to like a 10% range. The out of position aspect would be the deciding factor. So, best case scenario I am a coin toss and playing out of position. In your hand #1 I would actually lean towards making a nitty fold.Ī TAG from LP would have an open range of about 20-30%, but a TAG would never 4-bet with anything worse than AA, KK, QQ, JJ, AKs or AKo.
