I fold

I'd call. You've got position. Set = likely double up. If not, no big...blinds are only at 20.

I knew that I needed to flop a set to win this hand and I wasn't sure if the implied odds were there. I think the decision is close but I am not really sure.

280 to win 2500+360+80 assuming you stack one of them when you flop a set? I call here.

ItalianFX · #6 01-19-2007, 01:16 AM

Yes, I call here too. Implied odds are pretty big when you hit a set.

JARID · #7 01-19-2007, 01:42 AM

Yep, you're good. Its not really that close. Stacks are deepish, BBs got a hand he could easily go to the felt with.
The difference between 2140 & 2420 is also rather negligible at this point.

Why is the 5-10 rule not in effect here?
