Boring 25/50 limped pot hand
 

Im in the sb with 97s. Two limps to me and I complete, bb checks. Flop is 975, 75 of clubs. I bet 175, BB calls, UTG pops it to 800. Ive never seen the utg before in my life and Ive only been at the table ten hands. Action?

This is almost always a made hnad better than yours, or a draw that doesn't mind playing for stacks, some sort of flush draw +straight draw type hand. Generally i don't think you give up very much by folding you, as i think 90%+ of the time you are slighly ahead or way behind. With that said, i also don't think getting it in is terrible, as a good part of his range here should incldue hand that are slighlty behind you.

I've never played 25/50, but isn't a squeeze with some mediocre hands relatively common here? I mean, do you put it past an unknown to be raising like A5, or JT (or any big semi-bluffing hands), since it's such a show of strength, and thus a decent spot for a bluff? This spot is a little gross I think, I don't feel great about any line.

Id move in here, but then again i dont play 25/50 :-)

Gabe,

folding here seems really weak. Based on your read, how do you like calling and c/r all in on a non club turn? Also, isn't AA/KK very possible?

I friggin hate the squeezing going on at 10/20. I can't even imagine how much it'd go on in 25/50.

I'd be interesed to know how the hand turned out though.

To me that smells like a big hand that limped preflop. Id 3 bet (willing to get it in). Id expect to be against an overpair or overs with a flush draw....

Aggre with ggbman. Would be suprized to see anything else then a better made hand or a heavy draw here. Possibly overpair or 75 on a good day. Folding should absolutely be considered.
With that said, I dont think I would fold against an unknown player in this situation.

Re: Boring 25/50 limped pot hand
 

most sensible players aren't messing around in this tiny pot after theres already been a bet and a call. I really dont think this will be just overs or any draw that isn't at least 12 outs.
