No-Limit Holdem Multi Table (34 players)
Down to three players.
Otto 187,000
Me 99,000
Mac 57,000
Blinds are 4000/8000 with 1000 ante
This hand came up and I am not sure if I made the right plays.
I was in the big blind, posted 8000 and picked up 77.
Mac folds
Otto calls 4000.
I make a pot size raise of $19,000.
Otto calls 19,000.
Flop falls 643 rainbow
Otto bets 57,000
I raise 14,000 for all-in
Otto calls and turns 8d6d for a pair of 6's on the board
**Otto played a very strong game in general. He had been on his heels for the last few hands, I had picked up a number of blinds by making pot sized raises.
Questions:
1. How do you play in the final stages? I have a decent stack. The low stack will be blinded out in a few hands unless he catches a hand and it will be heads up with the big stack. Any suggestions?
2. Should the pot sized raise have been an All-In?
3. Otto's call preflop with 86suited seemed a stretch.
This is my first hand post. Please comment on any additional information needed.
FYI - Otto picked up a 6 on the river for trips and I busted out.
