I fold a big Overpair! (Stars Warmup)

LearnedfromTV · #1 04-22-2007, 02:20 PM

UTG is running at 11/3 over 60 hands.

I know that just calling preflop gets me a multiway pot, but that doesn't really bother me because I think I play good and stuff. Should it?

How do you like my flop line?

seems fine, and i understand why you didnt want to repop preflop, but i really think you should.

I guess this has to be correct. His flop lead is super fishy.

Heir_Aparent · #4 04-22-2007, 02:55 PM

yes please just repop it preflop

why are you raising the flop, wtf

IvanXDurham · #6 04-22-2007, 05:07 PM

wait, why is the 1500 hundo raise on the flop bad? I'm not being arguementative, i'm genuinely curious. Seems like a play I would make (the laydown included after UTG jams), but if it's a bad play I would like to know why so I stop making it as often as I do. thanks again in advance

AE,
Raising the flop is fine IMO because it was minbet to him.

I can't believe I'm saying this: "To find out where I'm at" and "protect against draws."

When I called preflop part of the reason why is to see a flop where my equity went up vs (JJ+, AK). The J high flop kinda sucks, but it's better than A/K high. So my equity is a little better than it was preflop.

Drawish board, I felt like I would only get shoved on by better, especially by UTG, and that if either of the other two had a J they would call and I could get another bet in a bigger pot.

I figured the minraise minbet was a hand that had me crushed (JJ+), or something retarded, like AK or something else random. I didn't want to give free cards anymore if ahead (mostly referring to the other two here, not the raiser), since half the turn cards suck, and I thought I could get reliable information from a small raise.

J62r, I'm probably calling and just dealing with it if an overcard turns.

Line is good, but I like a pop pf as well
