Default OOP Sucks.

CO is 50/4, total fish. Buttn is 40/25 after 35 hands, we've tangled when I had position and I've outplayed him consitently. He is a weak player. My preflop options suck here.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

SB ($102.65)
Hero ($312.90)
UTG ($200)
MP ($201.65)
CO ($191.30)
Button ($228.20)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to $4</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $16</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero?

4 betting sucks

folding is OK

I think that calling is marginally best

Yes it does. If he would have raise a damned normal amount I'd think it would be an easy raise.

If who bet a decent amount? CO I presume? If CO raises to $8 and button makes it £24, you think its an easy raise?? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

nope. We're OOP, not closing the action, might have to fold the best hand on the flop, might bet playing for set value, we have no idea where we stand and we might needlessly stack off for no reason. Also, it might be the case that we don't even get action on the flop, depending on what buttons range is. Last reason folding isn't bad, is just b/c the other 2 options seem to suck.

Reraising is out, folding is out, that leaves calling.

I'd probably lead a flop without overcards and fold to a raise.

No, I said normal, not decent. I was referring to Button. A PSR seems to be large in this position, and even that would be raising to only $11. Since the raise was already so large, just about any reraise I could make would fold them both off of worse hands.

Did you miss the part about btn being a very weak player? He consistently takes stabs at the wrong places then gives up. CO basically is going to C/C anything less than 2 pair.

Really, this is my only worry here. Against better competition I'd agree.

It's seems by you're replies you dont want any help?

I agree with dbitel, all 3 options have issues but calling is the best.

Will either (or both) of these guys call a shove with worse hands? If not, then call and play some poker (by that I mean bomb any non-A or K flop).

I hope others don't get that impression. That's not the case at all. Rather, I typically begin a post without too many thoughts. Then when others respond, I analyze their analysis to get a sense of what I believe is correct. I am not deaf to criticism, and have no predispositions. As you can see by my resonse to Dbitel's post, I hadn't even considered folding, but after he explained I may consider it in other situations.

I certainly benefit from doing this, sometimes my responders do too.

IDK really. CO no, he's the type that cries when he gets his hand caught in the cookie jar.
