Re: Stars 55 Turbo: Sticky Spot on the Bubble
I call easily! U got a straight and potential flush draw which I wouldnt trust in hitting. Its turbo time and I dont fear monster under my bed. I put him on a pair maybe two pair, doubt he has flopped his flush but probably has a draw.
Take th e pot down. |

Re: Stars 55 Turbo: Sticky Spot on the Bubble
Honestly, if he has a flush, then good for him. I think he has a decent hand but very vulnerable to redraws (like T8/87/T7/AT/KT), he might also have a big heart (like AhTx), but I honestly don't see a flush being played in this manner, since you need a huge non-flush hand to call his bet here.
Call. And try to dodge hearts/board pairing. |

Who was villain? Doesn't he know about proper check-down etiquette? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
I will say that when a villain does this when a shorty is all in, it's a lot more likely than usual that he has the nuts. But if this were the case, he would have bet the flop. He probably has a T. I think you have to call this. AS a general rule, I'm not folding a straight unless there's a 4-flush on the board. |

Easy peasy call.
If he's as aggressive as you say, well ... he likely doesn't have a flush. If he does, find the tournament lobby. |

Results
I insta-called and villain shoved the second nuts (KhTh) into my face. I actually think this was a pretty good play by him as it exploits his image and invites me to call with a lot of hands that I may not call with if another straight card or heart hits on the river. Hate bubbling in this fashion but c'est la vie I guess....
