This is a good spot to try to limp-reraise.

Pre-flop, I play it like you did.

The flop was a very good one for us. Our money is going in here. So check, and hope villain takes a stab at it. This way you get more value when villain has missed. (Which he probably will have a lot of the time)

his M is not 8 or 6, there are antes. blinds plus antes=1350 - hero has 7200, so M is actually a little under 5

I probably push this, I like what mornelth said as far as his order of preference

i think both push and raise pf are fine, folding with depending on reraiser. id very seldom fold unless i have a really bad/weak image. although i probably bust too often in these situations bc...

i like the raise more just bc it let u have u one psb on flop so u will be putting pressure on coldcaller.

anyway, on flop u either push cause u want the pot now or u check call for more value, more variance.

Looks like a reasonably good flop for 7's, I'd push.

Your math is off. The #s you provided make it OVER 5...also known as under 6. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Fold preflop.

Flop: If villain is the type of player that will bet this flop most of the time when checked to (and he probably is given that he's the chipleader and you're in dangerous stack territory and we're almost at the bubble), then check-raise all-in. If villain is more passive, open-push the flop.

Do we really want to price him in here if he has two overcards? If CL takes a stab here he almost certainly isn't folding and it is a minor disaster if he checks behind - I prefer just pushing here

2 overs are a 3:1 dog to you now. You DEFINITELY want to price them in.
