1 day 100k
13 left out of 440
will likely ICM chop at 5-9 players
7 handed
Hero in BB with 500k
Villain in SB with 800k
3000/15000/30000
Folds to Villain who opens to 70k
Hero with 4c6c
SB is pretty straightforward, but has been opening all SBvsBB since I raised his limp the first time it happened.
This seems like a standard defend, but should we defend with same ranges when ICM considerations become important.
There is a $500 pay jump from 13 to 12, and there is a microstack at the other table…
Also, this will likely chop and the chop with be in the 15-20k range, and next payout is $2600…
I choose to defend
Pot: 161k
SPR: 2.5
Flop:
JcJs5c
SB bets 70k
Hero? Seems like a straightforward call or shove situation…I can’t see a fold here
I think about jamming, but with ICM considerations?
Factors I consider:
1) this player hasn’t shown out of line play, he likely has a 5x combo, a Jx combo, or a pocket pair, and is betting for protection/value
2) I am not getting direct pot odds, but I have implied odds on his Jx combos
3) If I jam I do have considerable fold equity, but the field is not super challenging, and I definitely feel I have a skill edge on a decent portion of the remaining field.
4) If I call, and a blank hits, the villain will likely slow down on anything but Jx combos and draws…but I will have set up a pot of 300k with 360k behind on the turn which is a pot sized shove and villain is first to act.
I decided to call, and the 9c hit on the turn (not river) and SB jammed…but what should I be considering here?
