#OOPS365  #Part1

Well this was all a bit.....

Being the donk that i am...i would squeeze here "in the dark" a high percentage of the time anyway, anything with any kind of implied value, suited or connected and in position
gets my vote quite a lot of the time.

Unfortunately these guys now know that i know that they know that i know that they know i wasn't intending to raise, so we are somewhere at level 27 here and the metagame
is blowing my mind.

They are seeing my range as being wider than "The Great Wall" at the moment

which can only end up like....

where as i can only make a loose assumption that the early position raiser is reasonably tight as would be expected...

However considering the Gap Concept for a moment, i would assume that the middle position caller must have a strong-ish calling range here as he is calling an early position open
with another 4 players behind.He must be taking into consideration his implieds odds so is more than likely calling with all his pairs, broadways and suited connectors
down to about 56s , as well as his big pairs...

ive given a range of about 15%

which is roughly 22+,ATs+,KJs+,QJs,JTs,T9s,98s,87s,76s,65s,ATo+,KJo+

It would be a standard "iso" here for me In Position with a similar range, although i would probably add all suited Aces and some more suited Kx and Qx a percentage of the time for balance.

Again though, this is totally unique in that every Ninja, Samurai and local "Street Fighter" knows than i'm going into this pot with nothing but my nuts in my hand...

Stacks are pretty deep here so if i have to raise it has to be small enough to allow the middle position to come along as well as the original opener giving me implied odds if i smash the flop
with a straight/flush draw/gutshot/two pair combo or maybe something sexy like a straight flush...here's hoping ; )

Normally i would squeeze here to about 11 0r 12 bbs to about $4800, but as i'm playing a 100% range here,
i should make it slightly smaller so if i get re-raised i can get away moderately cheaply considering the
cock-up...

Its not all bad tho...

actually it really is that bad.....

i'm in rough shape against both of them i'm sitting with about 22% equity (3.5-1)
while guy in MP has 35% (1.8-1), and our Early position guy has a whopping 42% equity (1.3-1)

(This is if i run a "Monte-Carlo" simulation over about 100 millions games, my computer spazzed out when i tried to do the calculation but this is close enough)

Playing cash games, Stack-to-pot ratios become a little more complex, with deeper stacks players have to precisely guage the size of their bets and plan their streets
constantly thinking about keeping their hand range equilibrated to the correct ratio.

IE; with a premium hand, we're more likely to try and create a low SPR (looking to get stacks in early) with overpairs or top pair type hands,
whereas with connectors and one gappers, we need to allow more cards to come down for our absolute strength to improve.

Essentially we don't need to build a big pot while we don't have a made hand and i still have position so if the flop looks like they've both whiffed
i can take a stab at it, but if i meet any resistance i can get away pretty easily and the damage has been minimal.

I'm raising to about 2800 looking to play a flop with these guys who now have to put me on a range of 100%, good luck reading my hand now NinjaBoy...
