Normally I would think this was standard against a normal opponent, but this guy was 37.5/4/.5 Is this too agressive with this read taken into account?

This isn't bad but in position I think bet/calling is okay, and that C/Ring(as opposed to leading out) is probably best.

why such a big raise? Just make a 15-20 raise and get the rest in on the turn.

I agree with the above poster and probably would have just called that bet.

I also would have just folded this pre-flop from that position. If you were on the button or cut-off a call would be ok but I think theres too many people left behind to make this call. If UTG had folded I wouldn't be opposed to leading with this hand.

Well he had $24 left, so pretty much any legit raise leaves him with 4-9 dollars so I figured if he was going to call that then he would call the shove. Does that make sense?

just call, the flop rr.

if he's only raising w/4% of hands, why are you calling his p/f raise?

I think some of the above posters and myself included missed stack sizes. With stack sizes I probably would have played it post flop just like you.

However, stack sizes make your pre-flop play even worse. Your calling his raise with Q-10 suited for implied odds and he is not giving you enough with that small stack.

If villain had a bigger stack and OP had better position I don't mind this call. In that scenario he would be getting good enough implied odds to play this hand. However, with villains small stack and OP's bad position I don't like it.

very easy fold PF, i'd play the flop the same

on flop -- the reason we fast play combo draws is to add folding equity to an already strong draw and to add a bit of deception to our play

given his pfr of 4, and the fact that he opted to check min raise the flop instead of continuation bet it, i think we can assume that we have 0 folding equity..

we have position, a huge draw, a passive opponent, and direct odds + implied odds

calling cr &gt;&gt; pushing over cr
