Taking coinflips in STTs

Postby DaFish » Fri Dec 08, 2006 3:53 pm

This came up in a $15 turbo I'm just playing (note: players are very bad at this level)

I doubled up early, and then picked up AKo in late pos only few hands later.

Suppose I know he has TT-QQ, is this a bad play? Should I avoid such coinflips and flat call with AKo, even though I cannot go broke here?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) from (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

UTG (t1685)
UTG+1 (t1355)
MP1 (t1418)
MP2 (t1715)
Hero (t3085)
Button (t1305)
SB (t1447)
BB (t1490)

Preflop: Hero is CO with KImage, AImage.
3 folds, MP2 raises to t90, Hero raises to t300, 3 folds, MP2 raises to t1715, Hero calls t1415.

Flop: (t3475) 4Image, 9Image, 3Image (2 players)

Turn: (t3475) KImage (2 players)

River: (t3475) 2Image (2 players)

Final Pot: t3475

Results in white below:
MP2 has Jd Js (one pair, jacks).
Hero has Ks Ac (one pair, kings).
Outcome: Hero wins t3475.

If your pattern mapper tells you you'll pair up, then take the worse side of the coinflip. Otherwise, no. You want to preserve your big stack, not put it in on the worse side of a coinflip. Why make it 52% likely you lose half your stack?

Preflop I very rarely re-raise with AK other than all-in. I like to call and see the flop without bloating the pot. If there were a limper or someone calling the raise ahead of you, then I like raising all-in (the overlay in the pot makes up for the times you're taking the worse side of the coinflip and get called).
