200nl, Bottom 2 Facing Flop Push
 

Villain is possible drooler. This was my first orbit with him and he played all 4 hands before this one came up. Seemed loose, but I guess its possible the deck was hitting him over the face.

y would u fold?

Re: 200nl, Bottom 2 Facing Flop Push
 

This is a very tough spot. Against a normal opponent this would probably be a fold, as we are SA/WB (we only beat top pair hands and air). If this guy has played four hands in a row there is a fairly strong possibility he would be doing this with a wide range of hands, which is why I'm leaning towards a very reluctant call.

I still don't feel folding here is bad.

well we have no reads, I'm not sure seeing him play 4 hands is enough to call such an overbet

he can definitely have a hand that we beat but without reads we can not be sure if he plays draws that aggressively, donks that play many hands play their draws in check/call way usually.

If he is not on a draw we can hardly expect to win the 40% of the time here that we need to break even. I think I would fold to be on the safe side. I think the call is marginal at best.

why would he bet so much w/ a better hand than bottom two? so much more likely he has Ax/draw.

Re: 200nl, Bottom 2 Facing Flop Push
 

You're getting 1.53 to one here, so you need about 39.5% equity against his range to call here. If we give him AK, AQ, AsXs, KsQs, QsJs, KsJs, AT, A7, TT, 77, we only have 35% equity. It's pretty tough to get that up to 40% unless we start throwing in random spade hands, really weak aces and air, which we can't do after playing only 4 hands against him. I'd fold here.

Re: 200nl, Bottom 2 Facing Flop Push
 

Im probably folding because im a nit.

How did he play those 4 hands?

Re: 200nl, Bottom 2 Facing Flop Push
 

Button is short and therefore an idiot and has at best Axss. That's an instainsta.
