BB (t1,560)

*** HOLE CARDS ***

Preflop: <font color="grey">UTG folds</font>, MP calls t30, CO calls t30, Button calls t30, Hero calls t15, <font color="red">BB raises to t90</font>, MP calls t60, CO calls t60, Button calls t60, Hero calls t60.

i don't think you can call even with those juicy pot odds cuz you may be drawing to only one out. pushing doesn't seem too horrible since no one seems to want the pot.

I play much lower than this, but I don't think you can call. The three calls indicate there are draw(s) out there, likely better than yours. Only one card is truly good for you. The rest can scare you. Fold.

Surely calling sucks, but which of my outs get cleaned up if I push? Who is calling if I push, the overpair? If I can fold the overpair and the bigger flush draw there's a lot of chips in that pot.

Push this Slim. This is the kind of flop you were hoping for when you called PF. Couple that with the weak-ass betting so far and it looks like a clear push. If BB had made a real bet on the flop, it would be more interesting I think.

Not sure about this, a big reason for pushing is FE and BB's line is fishy and I don't think he folds that often, and if BB calls, some one else is going to be priced in. I also think there's really good chance his draws aren't good, especially given this action. I lean toward folding this one, but who knows, they're unknowns and it may be closer than I think.

Doesn't standard analysis go like this?

BB made a "stab" at the pot after raising to 3xBB preflop. What hand range does this mean? Does it mean QQ/JJ or KK (worse)? His raise preflop is also very unconventional (read donkey-ish).

The rest of the players all appear to be seemingly bad (or good depending on how you read the calls). Shoving here likely clears out a lot of the J9/QJ/AhxH hands ...in a standard sng. 6 max games are often times endearing to "loose" calls. There's t930 in the pot. That's a big pot right now. I'd still shove.

If the betting had been different, I might fold.

I agree that I like a shove based mainly on the betting so far
