4-handed NL $0.25/$0.50.

Hero is the button and raises to $2 with ... something. SB folds and BB calls. In the couple orbits since you sat down BB seems to be playing lots of hands and so far he hasn't raised preflop. Pot is $4.25.

Flop is J88r. BB checks and Hero bets $2.50. Villain raises to $35 all-in and you have this covered. There is $41.75 in the pot and it will cost you $32.50 to call.

What is your thought process when you see this?

What do you need to call with?

in my experience, ridiculous overbets from bad players are nearly always some mediocre one pair. it makes no sense at all, but that's just how it is. so here maybe J9 or 77. sometimes he will have an 8, but snap call with KJ+

Nothing like trying to learn a new form of poker and getting wildly different advice from experienced players. Color me confused.

i normally agree with you, but if this is the type of guy who never raises preflop, he plays overpairs the same way.

you don't have to always win. you just have to win enough to make calling profitable

range look ok?

edit: QQ+ becomes a snapcall with this range though so if its this wide i was off on that

[/ QUOTE ]


his range is too weird to stove. i'll paste mine below but it's no less arbitrary than yours. i'm telling you based on my lots of nl experience that this is a snap call/fist pump with KJ
