Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is UTG with 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Hero calls t100 (pot was t150), UTG+1 raises to t300, 3 folds, CO calls t300 (pot was t550), Button folds, SB calls t250 (pot was t850), BB calls t200 (pot was t1100), Hero ...

Somehow I just didn't believe that UTG+1 had anything, and I was going to push, but when the CO cold called the raise, I got nervous. What's the best thing here?

call getting 6.5-1. flop a set. double up. game over.

Call is acceptable, and probably the most +EV long term.
With the money in the pot though a push would increase your stack by 25% and I'm considering it might be a good play, especially if someone behind you decides to look you up with a smaller pair.

Alright, NOW what?

ewwwww. SB coming from nowhere and min-betting the flop seems like a hand that definitley has you beat, but i cant fold here getting 17-1. flat call, fold to a raise behind you, and if there is none see what develops on the turn.

bucktotal · #7 10-07-2006, 01:40 PM

call the flop bet.

Raliegh · #8 10-07-2006, 02:05 PM

Hero calls t100 (pot was t1700), UTG+1 raises all-in t2375, 2 folds, BB calls all-in t1600, Hero ...

Obviously one of these idiots has made a hand, but WTF? I hate this game!

In these, a lot of people min bet with very weak hands and fold to any raise -- I'd make a pot sized raise here, actually.

fold to the UTG+1 raise.

this hand was pretty standard. if this makes you h8te the game... you got issues.
