Re: Live 25-50, big decision with bottom 2
Am I the only one that doesn't like the played lines of the hand at all?
1. 84o sorry but I don't complete this even if 6 are already in just because of the reasons you are posting here. Unless you flop a Boat it is always a very difficult decision and most of the time you just wasted a SB out of postition. Especially when you play outside your usual limit to get one special player. What I have seen about Jamie Gold is that he is exactly playing this kind of hands you are playing here. You want his money? Play better than him.
2. Check raise BTP in a 8 handed flop with flush and straight draws possible isn't my choice at all. Define your hand and bet and fold to a reraise.
3. Now you reraise the bettor without a solid strategy when he pushes all in. Now the ugly reality of playing 84o hits you hard.
Given the information you are providing we have an agressive player limping UTG and besides a marginal 44, an 88, a very badly played TT or a trapped AA I don't see much that valids an UTG call that isn't a draw at this flop texture. Given this I tend to call this with a huge headache.
