you have practically no FE

you've invested so little

sets, straights, and two pair are not folding

there are lot of higher flush draws

you are not closing the action

I see people say this about these kinds of hands and it always bugs me... how much money you've already put into the pot in a cash game doesn't matter, asides from how it influences pot & bet size vs. effective stacks.

My biggest issue is that if I get called, its nearly always by a set, a bigger flush draw, or maaaaybe two pair. Of course, its hard to say with unknowns, but if I'm against a set or nut flush draw, I have about zero fold equity, and I'm between a 35/65 and a 40/60 dog. Against top two its closer to 50/50.

At the time, the way I saw it was that if I shove and get called, I'm in poor shape, and if I flat call and a flush hits, there's a decent chance I get stacked by a higher flush.

Good to see such quick, consistent responses. I folded because I was worried about the bigger draws.

[/ QUOTE ]What draws were you worried about? I think you only need to discount your outs slightly...but I agree its a fold.

I donīt understand why everybody is seeing monsters under the bed. MP is repping exactly missed overs and CO thinks he beats that, how is this not an easy push? When I shove my sets in this spot everybody folds all the time. True, we donīt have much FE vs sets and the straight, but I donīt think that is their entire range.

Based on such little knowledge of the situation this seems pretty exact.

I certainly do not put MP on missed overs. He cbet the flop and that could mean that missed overs are in his range but its not the entirety of it. CO thinks he can beat MP so I put him on a set, two pair, pair + flush draw, straights, TPTK, overpair? I just don't see the value in shoving this spot with zero FE.

I think zero FE is a pretty gross exaggeration.

I didnīt say I put MP on missed overs, read my post. I said that he is repping missed overs with his tiny bet. That means that COīs range is probably wider than usual, it doesnīt mean he loves his hand. I think CO has one pair a lot, and we are 47% vs a pair. The situation would obviously be entirely different if MP bet 8 and CO raised to 20. My point is this is a different situation where our pot equity and fold equity is much higher.
