50 FR - Overpair facing resistance

[Colonel Mustard]

First post so please be gentle. Villain is unknown. I hate my flop call here but folding just seems so weak. Anyone push? Or is this 2 pair / set too often? When the J /images/graemlins/heart.gif hit I figured that's the only draw complete along with the most likely overpair making a set.

Welcome to the forums.

Firstly, WOW you have found a good table here, preflop action is totally sick. I think that preflop is fine, and I also think that the raise on the flop is good, but bear in mind that I think you would have achieved the same effect with a $7/$8 raise and the odds you offer are still prohibitive enough.

However, I really doubt that MP1's crappy minraise is a hand which you beat often enough for this to be profitable to continue. You are not deep enough to make the call and the stack sizes on the turn really are awkward now. Given this, you are push or fold on this flop and I'm gonna say fold it.
