Calling monster over-bet with draw (5/10NL)

I HATE you people!

You seem to be very confident that you are an excellent player. The fact that you are posting what is essentially a 6th grade math problem does not support this opinion.

Though this is not how I approach poker, there is a school of thought that says it is worth folding draws even with good odds if its for your whole stack and waiting until you have the best hand. This is suprisingly popular with the pros in AC, which is why many told me I should have played differently. Obviously I had massive odds to call, but my question, particularly to those of you who attacked this question before you even understood it (ie. "You seem to be very confident that you are an excellent player. The fact that you are posting what is essentially a 6th grade math problem does not support this opinion.") , is one of your philosophy and approach to the game. Sit tight and grind against consistent donkeys, or get it in with the best odds, whether its 90-10 or 55-45?

You're lacking some fundamental poker knowledge, this isn't a matter of philosoies or "how you approach the game",

"there is a school of thought that says it is worth folding draws even with good odds if its for your whole stack and waiting until you have the best hand."

you have the best hand

I'll take a 52/48 and that is only because of the rake.

I was involved with a similar type of hand. I held a straight flush draw but folded it on the flop. I was glad that I did because one player held a set while the other held a higher flush draw. In this situation, I was a dog. If I was in the OP shoes I would had folded.

I assume we never get the priviledge of reading this post had the river been the A of diamonds? Grow a sack dude. This is such an easy call. Boo hoo that your draw didn't hit. I'll fedex you a box of tissues.

I suck and I push with this hand. I know the set is calling and I'm stoked KT is calling. It just means I have to dodge a K or T, but hell... Look at the equity chart.

The key to this is that I have really strong reads on both, and have called out their hands to the kicker consistently all night. I put 5th on KT, button on 55 (I was exactly right).

I think 2+2 could really use a emoticon. It would be quite useful.
