I don't like it... His bet doesn't look like a bluff-steal, so I don't think you have FE here. And when you're called I just can't see you being ahead.

Looks perfect to me, obviously they are almost never leading trips.
Only hands we would be behind are 66,77 but are likely PF raises from a bigstack CO and a limped led 8.
Moreover, when they bet this much it is almost always overcards trying to bully take it down.

Nice shove.

i like flop check, it may make the hand real easy to play if co bets and sb pushes...

as played, i would usually fold. but once i see the stack of the CO (6K chips), i think it is pretty close. his huge stacks allows him to bet 600 with two overcards.

so i think push and fold are really close. hope that helps....

Darin, why don't you have a read on a 6k stack? It's fairly important here.

The only way I'd fold is if he got his chips skillfully or he's capable of limping almost all pairs, 66+, in the open CO.
His line looks so much like overs.

I wouldn't be thrilled about it, but I think you have to get it in once SB folds.

What hands you worried about readless?

Too many tables I guess. No PAHUD stats either since they're filtered.

Then you have to go broke.
