5/10 - flopped bottom set
The preflop raiser (MP2) is a donkey who will go to the felt with an overpair. Button is a solid winning regular (22/12) who most likely has the same read on MP2 that I do.
MP2 has a half stack ($500) and hero and button are both about $1000 behind. Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is SB with 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] UTG calls, 2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">MP2 raises to $40</font>, MP3 calls, CO folds, Button calls, Hero calls, BB folds, UTG calls. Flop: 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($210, 5 players) Hero checks, UTG checks, <font color="#cc0000">MP2 bets $175</font>, MP3 folds, Button calls, <font color="#cc0000">Hero ????</font> |

Re: 5/10 - flopped bottom set
I would call, and check the turn. I don't think it's debatable.

Re: 5/10 - flopped bottom set
You don't consider a fold?
The preflop raiser has pretty much advertised that he has an overpair and button is still interested in playing for his stack. Button's not playing AA/KK this way, and I don't think 85s is very likely. I suppose JJ/QQ are possibilities but I think he reraises QQ preflop quite often - it seems like 88/55 to me. I should have also added that there wasn't much hesitation in Button's flop call. |

And if I am, it certainly won't be to the action that occurred on this flop. |

Re: 5/10 - flopped bottom set
pocketjesuits,
Please don't fold here. KramerTM, When you call the pot is $735 on the turn and MP2 has $285 left. I'd imagine he is putting it in on any turn with those hands 95% of the time, as well as many other holdings. This way you get to try and eke out more money from the button. |

[/ QUOTE ] Me neither, and that's why i'm wondering if I should start considering it. [ QUOTE ] And if I am, it certainly won't be to the action that occurred on this flop. [/ QUOTE ] Why not? This flop is incredibly dry, yet button has just called a pot-sized bet knowing full well that the rest of the money is going in on the turn. What could he realistically have here that I beat? |

pocketjesuit,
99, TT, JJ. You call MP2 a donkey. Why are you so sure he has an overpair here? |
