20:33 A2o hand

Really don't think I like shipping there so much, since nothing indicates this guys is playing like and maniac so you might not even be able to lean on any fold equity. I think your just getting it in bad against his range here (plus his bigger >4x c/raise usually indicates he really has a decent hand here).

 The math: your putting in another 1150 to win a pot of 2540. this comes down to 45% pot odds. Against a pair + club in his hand you have 42% equity. Against toppair 45-46%. Agaisnt 2 pair you have 36% equity. Against a flush 28%. And only againsy a hand like KcT you are ahead, but you could argue if he really has that hand in his range? [does he really check/raise kt combined with the betsizing he chooses?...]

But even if you would put a hand like KcT in his range, you still dont have enough equity against his range to shove here UNLess you really believe you have quite some F.E. which imo is not the case here.

Furthermore: rationalizing a shove here based on the arguments 1. folding is to weak 2. its a trubo structure (you still had a stack of almost 40bb!) is kind of a dangerous way of decision making, that could lead many times to sub-optimal decisions

Thank for your question and I'm very sorry for the delayed response.

 

I think his range here consists of some alot of top pairs (some with flush draws), some worse flush draws (maybe like a KTcx, K9cx, KJcx, T9cx,...), all 2 pair combos, pocket 3's. We should have slightly better than 45% equity against that hand range in this spot and very very rarely he can be random and just fold in this spot.

Given that we barely have enough equity against that range, folding might've been better because we can probably generate a bigger edge against him. To be frank, when me and Mike did the commentary, I probably overestimated our (fold) equity vs his range in this spot.

If any questions remain, don't hesitate. I will respond quicker next time.
