Default Pair+ FD in 3 way pot

$55 buyin, about 120 runners - Sorry, no HH

Reads: MP is usually prety solid. Frankly his limp here is strange considering his somewhat short stack. SB is just completely retarded and could have about anything.

Blinds are at 100/200, money's still about 15 people off, so not really a factor.

Relevant stacks:

MP - 1800
SB - 2100
Me - 3500

Both MP and SB limp to me. I check in the BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Pot is 600
Flop comes: T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

SB leads for 400, Hero?

All in and its not really close.

You may have best hand already and if you don't you probably have 14 outs twice to improve which makes you a favorite over any pair, unless the pair has a higher club, then you are only a slight dog.

Their stack sizes make a push mandatory, and folding is beyond terrible.

Regards,
Woodguy

I agree 100% with woodguy. Anything but a shove is bad. I guess there could be arguments for a call, but lets say you calls, limper folds, and turn bricks. Now villain shoves, and you have a pretty hard descision.

Just shove.

Thanks.

That's exactly what I did, I just wanted a sanity check.

I was fairly sure that MP had a large pair and was getting tricky, and SB could've had about anything from one pair, to a set to 2 overcards. Against any range I could reasonably put them on I figured I was the favourite.


Results:

I pushed, MP calls with AA, SB calls with Td4d, and her 2 pair hangs on to win.

I'd done the math and everything with pokerstove. I just wanted a quick sanity check of the big hand that hurt me, and that there wasn't a more +EV way of playing it.
