So it has a lot to do with paying out only 2 places, the fact that we are both shortstacks (with the blinds soon to increase), and that Wyte has position on me and has me covered.
I can give you a pretty solid 3-shoving preflop range plus some random bluff holdings, and my equity is about 42%, so pretty close to the pot odds.
The hands that matter are the hands when I raised your blind. It was odd, but when I was raising pre-flop it was >50% of the time your big blind. Some of these put me in tough spots and I folded early in the hand, so I thought you thought I was raising light, so you might shove with some weaker holdings.
Finally, I thought you might call with some percentage of your best hands (i.e. AA to trap me on a the flop).
I was scared to be honest, but ready to call your shove when I raised.
I thought it was a great hand, and you played it very well. |
