Hello makryxeris,

Without notes that villain is playing this way only his very strong hands I prefer just to shove. Our hands is great and we should be ahead of villain stealing range. Also we got ton of fold equity.

Guys if you have any questions, do not hesitate to write in this thread by clicking the button or

Best regards,

Hello,

This is a 6 max sng at pacific poker (888) right? If so the payout structure is 50,30,20 instead of 70/30 or 65/35. With this in mind, I would fold here and we can definitely find better spots when we are the aggressor. I also checked with icmizer and a90 is a fold while a10o is +EV.

Take Care,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, it is 50/30/20 payout structure so if someone bust out we are in the bubble.
