Default Re: OMG, look at these boobies! ($5/$10)

the one case you could make for calling preflop is that ubernit SB probably isn't gonna fold his AA when the board is safe. However, that also means you have a chance to get set over set. Since there's 2 other dudes in the pot preflop call isn't horrible, but I still fold it. If you want numbers, I guess it really depends on my mood.

Yeah, I want numbers. Based upon your "average" mood, what kind of odds do you need?

I shove the flop.

If we don't fold the flop, I think it's academic as to whether we call or shove (since we're both pot committed at that point).

My real question is whether we might find a fold preflop or even on the flop. Any takers?

well its close, but preflop is ok with position i think (u might be able to take away the pot if sb has AK or something and misses)
however i would just shove the flop, on this draw-heavy board u will get called almost always.

Would I also shove with AA? If no, then how is my hand any better than AA?

It beats KQ and has redraws against a flush/straight. And since you don't have AA now, someone else can have it.

That said, you should shove AA preflop.

Here you get about 3:1 on your money. You'll have to make about 800$ postflop for the 125$ call to be correct. With two other players seemingly liking their hands with 1100 resp 900 left in their stacks I think you can call preflop. The pot is big enough to make them committ if they hit a good TP or OP. Given that you're in position I see no problem with calling preflop here.

What flush or straight draws do you put him on? It's hard for me to conceive of anything. Further, even if he does have a draw (very low chance), who makes that semi-bluff against two opponents who have both represented a lot of strength preflop? Surely, if he has a draw, he can't ever expect both opponents to fold.

All said, I can put him on only AA, KK, or QQ--with maybe a 10% chance of any other hand. Am I being way too narrow. If you think so, please explain.
