No reads on villain. Is this an insta-fold?
SB: posts the small blind $0.10 BB: posts the big blind $0.25 --- DEALING POCKETS Hero is dealt [Ac,As] Hero: raises $0.95 to $1.20 UTG + 1: folds Villain: calls $1.20 Button: folds SB: folds BB: calls $0.95 --- DEALING FLOP [4s,Kc,Ks] BB: bets $1.10 Hero: calls $1.10 Villain: calls $1.10 --- DEALING TURN [3s] BB: bets $0.90 Hero: calls $0.90 Villain: goes all in $21.75 BB: folds Hero: ? This is such a huge bet I really don't know what to think. A king doesn't make much sense to me. A flush is possible I suppose, but why would you shove such a huge amount when you hit what you're drawing to? I was thinking it might be possible Villain is shoving with a mid pair, but I'm not sure if this is just wishful thinking or not. A fullhouse seems very unlikely. Even if he does have the flush, I've still got a large number of outs - 2 aces, 2 kings, and any other spade for the nut flush. Even so, am I forced to fold here? |

As played, you pretty much have to fold. The problem is that you botched the flop. You need to raise substantially in this spot. There's almost $4 in the pot and BB bets $1. You should raise to $5 or so.

I figured someone would bring this up. I was thinking of raising, but would that really accomplish anything? If I raise and get re-raised, I pretty much have to fold. If I raise and get called, it pretty much paralyzes me. The only way it works is if I raise and the other two fold. On the other hand, if I just call the tiny donk bets and show it down, I make more than I would have if I had raised and the other two fold, and lose no more than I would have if I raised and got repopped/called. Willing to listen to reasons why this is a bad line.

raising the flop is better because you figure out where you stand in the pot probably cheaper. calling the overbet as palyed is spew.

I've been seeing a lot of posts lately that discourage raising a hand like this w/ good showdown value because it basically turns our hand into a bluff. In this case though, you want to charge the draws. |
