3! squeezing with AJs in a straddle pot
1-3...I've been at the table maybe 2 or 3 orbits. The Villain is a young Asian guy in seat 2 who seems to be playing a bit loose PF, as he's joking and splashing around some with seats 6 & 7...all three of them have $500+, whereas I'm sitting with $300...overall, he seems pretty TAGgy, based on his post-flop play.
1-3-6...three limps to Villain on the BTN who raises to $50, Hero in the SB looks down at A♦ J♦
Since we started the hand with 50BBs, our options seem limited to folding, raising AI, or raising/calling AI, since both calling and raise/fold would clearly be bad starting with 50BBs.
Hero should...?
After all of the analysis, I already figured I was in a high variance situation at either the indifference point between folding/raising or was slightly -EV.
It's better than thinking it was a punt, which is what the earlier comments were suggesting in regards to raising/shoving.
How good are you compared to the table? If you are one of the best players a high variance slightly -EV play is a punt. If you are one of the worst this is a great play.
Facing this raise size, with our stack-depth, I rage-fold pre.
I fold pre.
The silly large raise sizing to me is more likely to be something like AK or JJ than KK/AA but we're doing badly vs. that anyway.
Facing such a large sizing I think I would just pass.
