so aside from the fact that villian is short stacked and you dont have a full buy in, whats so important about stack sizes here? its not really significant other than you should have folded to the turn c/r.

u were getting 3:1 and are further behind than that.

Villain's short stack was why I mention stack sizes. I was going delete the action after my reraise, but forgot.

And what do you mean I don't have full buy-in?

3:1 sounds pretty good for me giving the fact that I don't have to fear further raises. Altough his hand screamed for two pair.. I almost never give up to minraises if I don't have to be afraid of future betting.. maybe that's leak.

I hate these reverse implied odds hands... but I can't really check that turn either, right?

Why is this true? I mean no disrespect, xwillience, but I would love to know the reasoning to this. I agree we are behind very often. I dont like the hand. I do like the way it was played, however. I see no other acceptable line(except that I cb little less). My question is : Are we really behind 75% of time? And if so, please tell me why.

Fwiw, I think we are behind alot here. I just want to know why it crosses the 25% line barrier. I can fold alot of hands. I just dont see myself ever folding for those kind of odds. This may very well be a leak of mine, so I am very interested.

I'm happy to hear that I'm not only fish who calls here [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

Seriously though, if I had reads and he was passive calling station, I can see fold here, but without reads..
