fold preflop call flop

Re: Push or Call on Flop - 3 Way Pot
 

disagree: I think preflop is fine in position and you should clearly call the first flop bet. you have 8 nut outs, an overpair, backdoor hearts, good pot odds, and no reason to expect a check raise. Pushing or calling the second time is close: MP2 probably has just a draw so you could build a side pot against him.

Re: Push or Call on Flop - 3 Way Pot
 

Those are good points Roundtower, obv if you don't expect a check-raise you have direct odds to call the flop bet. I think second time around it's a clear call. Could you explain why you'd want to push? It looks to me that pushing is unwise against MP2's range (2P, set, OESD, wrap).

I would neve call a raise with that hand preflop in position, although I have seen good players call with worse

without doing the numbers you are probably a slight dog with a wrap, 70/30 v OESD, 30/70 v set and a slight fav v 2 pair.

i really dont expect to see a set as part of his range tho so, as the shove on the flop gave him a chance to shove himself and with plenty of dead money in the middle already i think pushing is better than calling, although you really cant fault a call here

Re: Push or Call on Flop - 3 Way Pot
 

as Elrazor says you should be able to heavily discount sets because they would have pushed, if he has a made hand it is likely a weak one like 2 pair, and that might even fold to a push. (You should be a small dog to 2 pair here btw). Also it's hard for him to have an overpair, though something like QQ45 isn't out of the question.

Shoving 99 for value might be a bit thin though, because if he has any pair or any overcard that gives him extra outs.

Re: Push or Call on Flop - 3 Way Pot
 

Disgaree with folding preflop. As stated, I have position and there are so many callers that the pot is too sweet not to enter. I pretty much ALWAYS call in late position with this many callers.

Disagree with NOT calling. I didn't think anyone would actually say fold lol. But i see you said this because of the raise (which I did not know was going to occur).

Exactly what I was thinking anyone with a set would most likely have pushed.

The reason why I was asking about pushing on the turn is because this might squeeze out the middle player who has a lot of chips and appears to just be speculating at this point.

Even if he should call I figure I have outs and the pot odds to make it worth it.

Here is where I think Fold equity takes place... anyone see that potential here?

By getting the middle player to fold, I can get better equity for my draw because now instead of having maybe a 33% chance of winning I figure it will be a lot closer to 50% chance with only a 33% investment. LOL Yeah my math is fuzzy estimate math here not actually calculated. Maybe one of you math whizzes can test my theory here.

im my opinion your to deep to be shoving this flop with such a marginal hand. mp2 could be playing a bottom or mid set slow seeing that your 160 bb deep. whok knows what else he calls with seeing you have no reads. i dont see why you want to isolate utg +1 here. his range has you crushed. might as well keep mp2 in now that you priced yourself in.

i fold this all day preflop, i can't see how this hand is +ev by calling. your not closing the action and seeing a flop with a pair of nines and rags 6 ways just seems way to thin. i might open this hand at a tight table in late position but cold calling just seems awful.
