Hello diversfx ,

Preflop:

Fold or push. Call is bad move here. We are going to play out of position with marginal hand.
On the bubble push is the most profitable play. Because villain is second stack he would raise/call almost everything.
I don't like folding because we should abuse the bubble, as the big stack.

Flop:

As played I prefer check/push. We got a ton of fold equity because villain will be afraid to dropped on the bubble.

Turn:

Its OK to bet and try to steal the pot after villain checked behind on the flop.

River:

I prefer shoving here for max fold equity because of the bubble. If we weren't on the bubble I was going to just check/fold.

Best regards,
Antoan :pokerface:

Took another look at this it was 6max so not bubble. V had min raised 3 out of 5 hands.Sry from now on I will note game type in header.

Thanks for all your input

Hello,

Pls type if games are 6max! There are too many chips on the table like it is full ring _o:.

Preflop:

Fold. Our hand is too weak to defend. I don't like calling or shoving. With this stack sizes fold is the best option. It is much different ot 6max and full ring.

Flop:

As played, check/fold to a small bet is OK or check/fold to big bet. There is no need to check/push here.

Turn:

OK.

River:

Just check/fold. I don't like bareling/bluffing here. I don't think we got much fold equity and our hand is just too weak.

Best regards,
Antoan :pokerface:
