Folks, I am looking a little bit help here. I watched Sandler $10 cubed serie where he really crushed the bubble and shorthanded tables. I asked in official thread how to adjust and counter attack to these monster bullies but I havent got any answers. Could you pfxers drop a line in this thread that it will become difficult to ignore. www.pokerxfactor.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=190598#190598Thanks in advance, Eemil |

Looks like that worked. He has responded now. This happened to me last night with two tables left in the Cake $150 $20k guaranteed. The big stack did literally raise every hand and no one played back at him for a few orbits. Eventually I started shoving over the top with any Ace, any Kxs, and pair, any braodway and he folded every time. Helped me move up quite a few spots. It's important to remember that even if you have a half decent stack (say 20bbs+) he wont want to double you up if you do this because he'll recognize that you are happy to gamble / play back and therefore you are likely a better player. He'd much rather keep pounding than build your stack and allow you to take some of his initiative. These situations are the prefect example of Amir Vahidi's famous saying - in order to prepared to live you have to be prepared to die.

ty trsportman, welldone. You must have charisma or something  . ty also MrLucky. Sandler answer was good but I was expecting response which I got from you. Concrete tools. I actually think that this is very important topic and I will go back to Sandler and ask what if he is in the hand number xx and he is in the villain shoes in the cuttoff seat with K9suited facing monster bully standard opening. What would he do and why? Does his decision change if he has the same hand with 5 player left to act and does A7o qualify for reshove early. If you have any recommendations please share. |

Another couple of things to think about:
Most good players drill into the other players' stats at the table when it gets v deep and look at their average buy-in which tells them who is keen to stay out of trouble and move up the money ladder. That helps when making decisions about calling reshoves. Someone for example who's average buy-in is $5 with small winnings or even losses and a high 'in-the money' figure is probably min cashing a lot but not closing. This profile has a much narrower re-shoving range because they are likely trying to creep up the money ladder. That's just an example.
Another thing is hands that play well all in preflop are much better for reshoving obv so don't be doing it with the smaller suited connectors and small pairs too often.
Finally if anyone deos reship, gets called and wins you should be making a note of the types of hands they are prepared to make a stand with. V useful for when you get the big stack yourself !
Thisis all probably fairly obvious but just wanted to think out loud about what I think about in these siuations.
GL,
McLucky

My pleasure Eemil, I don't know if I have charisma or anything else as such your actually the first to suggest so  ). Sandler might have seen that we are from the same State (Ohio) and felt obligated to reply, lol. Sandler seems to be a stand up guy I am sure he just missed your question. Also some great additions to the answer by mclucky some very good things to think about. GL at the tables, trsportsman |
