I don't like the pf call with your stack here. As played, not sure what flop you're looking for bc this is the one. Easy shove.

snap call/shove, but this is a fold preflop

agreed,

i dont think u got the implied odds here cause your so shallow.

call/folding to a preflop raise and the vast majority of flops for 4% of your stack is a leak.

if hes on the button tho is this still a fold?

It was a prefold limp, not a raise, and since he's seen the table react to limps passively its a nobrainer call. Easy flop shove also.

ok thanks for advice guys. I still think the limp is fine since the table had played passively and I thought there was a decent chance UTG had a big hand. I'm also still not sure if I like the gamble here seeing as it's a pretty weak field and we have nothing invested and a decent stack, maybe I can find a better spot than a likely 50/50

I shoved villain had 95o and it held

You pretty much flopped the nuts! Of course get it in.

And FYI, you were 57.4% to win the hand. So, you got your money in ahead with the worse hand (key part behind "ahead"). [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Here's a list of situations where you should fold if you flop an open-ended straight flush draw, using both of your cards, on the flop:


If, as here you have an OESFD plus a pair, which is a better hand, you should consider folding in the following situations:



Although I once saw a guy do it on TV, and I've never been on TV, so maybe I'm wrong.
