can i call the all-in here?

[thijsr]

Opponent's first hand (on the next 50 hands i came to know him as a 70/35/3.11 [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]).


Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 6 handed) internettexasholdem.com

BB ($42.98)
UTG ($24.50)
MP ($25)
Hero ($24.73)
Button ($54.24)
SB ($37.30)

Preflop: Hero is CO with 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. MP posts a blind of $0.25. SB posts a blind of $0.10.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP (poster) raises to $0.75</font>, Hero calls $1, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>.

Flop: ($2.35) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">MP bets $2</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $6</font>, MP calls $22 (All-In)...

was i right to raise the flop here? and now that i'm getting 32 to 18 is that indeed a fold?
(seems very close to me, but i'm splitting with a 7)

tnx,
matt

Since you don't have top pair and you also have an oesd I would have called and hoped to draw here, even though you may be a favorite.

I like a fold here.

you are behind to an 8 or an overpair. A fd will outdraw you more often than not.

I need some kind of read to call this tho if I hold 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] I'm leaning towards calling.

The session is still young and we will get plenty of better spots later to stack this villain.

Folding here makes you seem a little weak to this villain and he may be more inclined to push at you later when you have a better idea of how he plays and what he might hold here.
