Learning to fold...

[silencio]

I am limit player so these folds are extra hard for me. I know he can have a ton of draws here but every time I call here I get shown at least a set... Villain is about 15/11/4 but over a small sample. BTW when I was taking my time villain types "JJ?" into the chat box.

i call

For those saying call, what is the deciding factor? The fact that this is a blind battle?

[ace93rd]

considering stack size this should be an insta call, i think it should be a call up until the point you are getting less than 1.5:1 on your money which would be the case if he had &gt; 225

I call, because he raised pre. You are beat by AA or a set, but i don`t think he pushes his set here!

The question is...with this flop what is beating you? A set? unlikely but he could be scared of the spade flush draw. A 10, K 10 are more likely or high suited connectors but a shove with a flush draw is a bit goofy.
Personally I would have to call here out of curiosity.

I agree. This is an easy call. He's overbetting the pot, representing a drawing hand. He's not playing it like a set. If he has AA, then you pay him off, reload, and try again. If he has an overpair under your kings, then you are a huge fav. You have a GREAT hand, just call and let the cards do the rest.

One last point. This is a 1/2 NL table, not a 5/10 NL table. Many of the players there are terrible, and love making big plays. Take advantage and make an easy call.
