HERO:?


does this play make sense?
if he had a king would he have bet out all-in?
doesn't it ring all bells?
and also if it does, is it worth it to risk it all?

your thoughts?

The board is dry, so there's no conceivable draw Villain could be pushing with. Also, it makes no sense for him to play *any* hand like this. When people make non-sensical plays like this I usually won't call with less than TPGK without a read, especially since non-sensical overbet pushes are more often big hands than they are bluffs. I fold here.

This sure looks like a set of sixes. MP1 is challenging you I believe. If you have AA or AK you will have a lot of trouble laying this down. I think it is good play by MP1 to do this. Some players here will checkraise but that shows a lot of strength. This play is more suspicious so it has a better chance of getting all the chips in.

The best you can hope for here is MP1 to hold TT-77 or an outright bluff with AQ or AJ. I would not risk my tourney life on that with such a deep stack and so many more future opportunities.
