progressLJ vs UTG+1 open at 10 BB
8-max MTT · ante 12.5 % · chip EV
LJ facing a UTG+1 open at 10 BB
The utg+1 opens to 2 BB and the action reaches the lojack with 10 big blinds. The book folds 89% of hands, calls with 3.8%, goes all-in with 7.0%.
Always all-in: AA, AKs, AKo, AQo, KK, QQ, 66.
Always call: AQs, AJs, A9s.
With players still to act behind, the lojack needs a stronger hand to continue, so it plays fewer hands than the button does and prefers a 3-bet or a fold to a loose call.
