As weak as it sounds I think you fold...can't really control the pot OOP. Any turn 5, 10, J, or spade is a legit threat. Re-raising commits you to the hand. Villain could easily have a monster draw (in which you're at best slightly ahead) or you could be drawing to 2 outs already.

Tough spot. Looks like a move to me. Can't see that he has a 7 unless he calls raised in position with hands like 87s. With his stats, I'd be more likely to put him on TT or JJ, maybe a draw, just possibly A9. Or maybe he's just trying to pick off what looks like a standard CB by you.

I think I push.

I re-raise this flop and re-evaluate. Folding at this point is something I am not ready for. Calling is an option, but there are many hands that he could do this with that you beat right now and I'd like to have a better idea what he's got now, than as opposed to when a scare card comes and makes the situation more complex. What do you think his read is on you? That you'll make c-bets and fold to resistance? If he's got 9,9 or a 7, that's just tough luck for you.

if you raise you might aswell push, because you are comitted. I'd push, you're beating alot of hands.

I can't believe people are saying fold here.

If I have pocket 10s I fold here. What in the world could villian have other than a draw here? He's not re-raising with pocket 9s and if he has a 7 in his hand oh well. Villian's re-raise is small, too, which to me indicated he's raising on some kind of a draw here and wants you to fold.

I'm pushing this because Villian is already getting the right odds to call with a nice hand.

I don't think he has a 7, unless possibly A7 suited. I would be afraid of a pair of 9's. As long as I am thinking correctly here, he is making a pot size re-raise. If he had pocket 9's, wouldn't he slowplay the nuts, hoping to keep everyone in. If he had a 7 - same thing. His raise tells me that he is trying to get heads up with I think. The bad thing is that we are oop here. I am thinking that I would push all in. Something tells me he has an overpair way more often than he has either 99 or a7s. I push and see what happens. I am just learning this game though, so this is my humble opinion.

[Imrahil]

Well I just called as it was only $7 more to me and to see if he'd check behind on the turn.

You're beating TT-KK, A9, a an OESD like T8, and a FD like K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]x[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. If you're losing to 99, or any 7x. There are also possible combodraws like 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

I think there's a good chance villain is a big PP here waiting for an ace-free flop to get his money in. I think I come over the top.

After calling....that turn is a c/r all-in
