Presume now that the community cards show something like A J 8 5 2 and you've got A K in hand or similar. You've put in a fair few of chips to make it to the river seeing as you have top pocket pair with a good kicker.
However, now it comes to the crunch and you're opponent suddenly goes all in leaving you with the decision to call (which would knock you out if you lose) or fold (which would leave you short stacked but not so much it would hypothetically knock you out)
How would you deal with this kind of player? It's not massively out of the question that he has A J or A 8 or J 8 or J J J etc etc... |
There are a few things you can do to help yourself in this situation.
(1) are you shot stacked against the chip leader or the average chip stack of the remaining players?
2 calculate your pot odds.
3 calculate your hand odds.( I think that hand would be about 38 to 43 % chance of winning).
4 how many players are in the hand?
5 try to remember what that player bet preflop on the flop, turn and river. This may tell you if he is trying to trap you.
this is assuming there is no flush draw on the board. this will give the information you need but can't guaranty the outcome
