What do you do?

In this situation you know you probably have the best hand, so a check raise would be an option. If the oppenent hasn't got anything he probably wont call any bets. So if he checks it don't make any difference. But I think I would make a bet here. Not a very huge bet, so the oppenent would probably call if he got at least a pair of queens or tens for example.He wouldn't want to loose the pot by a not to big bet. So I would make a bet like 7500.

10 random winners will be drawn among all the contestants: €30

Imagine: The bubble is about to burst in the Unibet Open Cannes. There is one last player to bust before getting to the money!

6th decision:

This is a new hand.

You are on the bubble now. Just one short of the money!

As usual at this time, most of the players will fold anything, the short stacks try to hold on as long as possible… and it lasts for ages…

Until this one hand where the player on the Button limps in on your big blind. He has 25BB in his stack.

As far as you know, he has qualified via a satellite tournament, and he is a very tight player who hasn’t played a hand for 2 hours.

The woman in the Small Blind folds.

So you are in the Big Blind. You hold 5♣Q♦ and your stack is 25BB. The exact same amount as the villain.

A bit tired, you casually tap the table and dully say, “Check”.

FLOP:

5♠5♥K♥

This is the kind of board that wakes you up immediatly!

His eyes hidden behind his sun glasses, villain pushes all his chips in the middle and says “All In”.

What do you do?

Give your answer before Wednesday afternoon.

I think this is a pure bet for value spot. I'm hoping villain does not have KJ but I'm not so worried about it since we hold a blocker to that hand. I think there are plenty of other hands in his range that we can get value from. Since villain liked to see alot of flops he could have some weird 2 pair type hands or a pot controlled Qx and KJ is a smaller part of his range when stacked up to them in my opinion.

I bet 8000 expecting to get called by alot worse. If we get shoved on it will be a very nuts line that we are facing and we can even consider folding as we still have just less than 20bb left. It will be sick to fold to a shove I admit but this is the bubble and we must be willing to fold when we know we are beat because cashing and not cashing is a massive difference.

I choose check/call.

I dont think he has a good hand to just call a raise. With set or 2 pairs he would for almost sure bet on turn.

He can have weak combination or missed flush draw => that will fold to raise.

He can have same or better straight => we are tied or doomed. Better to call his raise, then a re-raise shove.

With check, we can represent missed flush draw and catch a bluff.

So its a check/call and hope he doesnt have KJ. I dont think it would be good to fold to any raise of his, there is just too many possible bluffs and too little "KJ".

Anyway Im feeling much less sharky then on flop:

We're now in a bit of a shitty position that could easily have been avoided by folding pre.

IF we shove , we fold out most hands that we beat - flush draws,top pair , weak two pair may all two pairs. if he had a set,top pair or two pair he's likely to have bet the turn again to protect his hand against flush and straight draws. We may get a call from 99 that hit his set on the river thinking we are trying to steal the pot  but with straight  draws completing thats hopefull at best and limits him to 6 combos of 99. we could also get a call from 78s but  7d8d is the only combo that makes sense with his line.if he calls with half of his 99 combos and 7d8d we get called by 4combos that we beat and snap called by 12 combos of KJ that have us crushed. losing 3 times more often than we win when our shove gets called seems like a bad idea.

if we check , we've shown weakness all through the hand , he may bet again expecting us to fold. a smallish bet would accomplish this if we have nothing , but he may just shove and give us a horrible decision to make. shoving with the nuts would be pretty bad as we are unlikely to call but he could do it just because its a bad idea.

If we bet it may look like we are trying to steal the pot and get called by 99 , 78 pairs and two pair hands so that we get value from hands that we beat. The only hand likely to raise is KJ , so i think the preferred option is to bet and fold to a shove. since we are intending to fold to a shove we need to make a decent bet to get value from the hands we beat , but limit  our losses if he shoves and we have to fold. 6 bb is ~1/3 pot and would leave us with 20bb if we have to fold to a raise which would still be workable and should see us through the button into the cash at least.

You are first to speak. i say raise i like to take my time in these situations normally but with being so close to the bubble i dont want to show any sign of hesitation or weakness at all so we raise fat an loud  anwhile hes deciding we can run back over the hand with the only hand beating us is KING JACK . i think we have great showdown value with our straight but we also need to get some chips for value as were are really strong an have the 2nd nuts with 18.000 out there i like a RAISE here of 9k from our 26k stack which is half of the 18k pot

in this situation i would check raIise the guy because we know we arent going to get called that often because raising look stronger then checking and we have seen that he tried a shot on the flop so in my toughts its better to check raise hem and get some probabbly some value then to raise and get a fold.

#UnibetBubble #Decision5

Would go 5000 chips, in anticipation that Villain1 thinks that I am trying to steal the hand in the hope that he goes all in or counter raises and then BOOM!!!!... ALL IN. Now I am the Villain....
