Fallsview 10/20, 98s multiway pot, with the table behind me

[PhatPots]

The table had been extremely loose. A lot of hands were 4 handed or more.

The two players in question
MP2 is a younger asian kid. He is very shortstacked. He is sitting with $350. He has been limping in a lot of pots, and he got down to $130 and quadrupled up with AA.

UTG is a younger player, looks to be Arabic or something. He hasn't done anything of significance, but I have only been at the table 2 hours. He is sitting with $620, short stacker as well.

Hero has $3500,
There are two or 3 bigger stacks that are about $6K+, the game is capped at a $3,000 buy-in. 1 more shortstacker, and the rest are in $1,800 - $2,600 range.


Preflop: Hero has 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in UTG+2
UTG limps, Hero limps, MP1 limps, <font color="red">MP2 raises to 80</font>, Mp3 calls, CO calls, Button calls, SB calls, BB calls, UTG calls, Hero calls, and MP1 calls

Flop (9 handed): K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="red">UTG raises all-in $540</font>, Hero?

I am thinking and I can see that MP2 is getting his chips ready, Thoughts?

Fold? good chance you are up against a bigger draw then 9 high and most prob a made set.

If you are folding to that bet on this flop, then why even bother playing 98s for $80?

[AcidKnight]

With so many people to act behind you, especially if you see that one of them is interested, I think this is an easy fold.

[F0rtysxity]

Look down the long line of players behind you and see what their inclinations are.

Fold 50%
Call 40%
Reraise 10%

how can you do anything other then call? theres 720 in the pot and the all in is only for 540 and the other dude only has 270 left who looks like he wants to play and you have great equity against there ranges.

Also I was in this game for about 4 hours at different times on sunday, its hilarious how bad everyone there is.

My bad, I misread the post. I thought that the guy who shoved was the shortstack, I didn't realize that MP2 was as well. This is an easy call if that's the case.

Yeah the fallsview 10/20 game is nuts...

The real question here is how often people show up with higher flush draws here.

At first I thought raising was pretty bad but I'm thinking that might be a decent way to chase off higher flush draws. In this game, raising might still have the result of getting action from AA, AK, KQ, etc..

I also wouldn't worry too much about the original raiser since anyone who raises to 80 behind 3 limpers in this game is not at all trying to protect their hand but just trying to juice up the pot.

id fold, too many players in the pot, its quite likely somone has a higher flush draw, and even if not theres for sure a strong hand like 2 pair or a set out there which will raise if you call so this could be getting awful expensive while having no clean winner except a non spade 7 witch might loose anyway to a board pairing or spade river. if you were in late position and the big stack players already folded id stick it in and gamble with them

[Chaoslord]

also i think raising is very bad, a strong made hand which is likely out there will not lay down, thats for sure and do you really think someone who played Q7s or A2s will fold on this flop?
