um...first post in cash, where did you post the rest?

as played, fold the flop...why are you cold calling a 2 bets with OESD?

ah, you must come from limit tournament! lol.

seriously, you don't have odds. as is, call the min raise again and proceed to suck out on the sets.

oh yeah, you could be drawing dead anyways.

All prior posts were in MTTC. Schedule is forcing a break from MTT's for a bit so I'm squeezing in some cash sessions as time allows.

My goal was to play UTG heads up which is why I cold called his $18 with position. When the bb came over the top it changed everything in my mind and I folded rather easily.

Would you guys not want to play this for $18 heads up against a very likely overpair from UTG? Aren't there good implied odds here (again assuming all others fold and it's heads up)?

Why do you think it is likely that he has an overpair?

In addition to my "read" in the OP his action screams overpair to me. He has only $2 invested and action from both blinds on a blind lovers board. Do you disagree? If so what would you think he's raising to $18 here with?

ok, i have no idea what you are talking about.

this is a very scary board. flopped straights, sets, 2p's, etc. you said villain is a strong reg, he has 2$ invested, do you really think it is that hard for him to fold his QQ+? why isn't it much more likely that he has hit a set? how about everybody else? the initial bettor in the hand could have anything, 2p, flopped straight, etc?

and if your goal was to play UTG heads up, didn't you have to raise somewhere along the hand?

BB has a set, or the wheel at the least. UTG probably has a set and is hoping to boat up.
