Default Overpair vs JohnnyBax Level 1 Stars $109

MP1 is Johhny Bax, MP2 is unknown.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

MP3 (t1520)
CO (t1400)
Hero (t1710)
SB (t1330)
BB (t1420)
UTG (t1430)
UTG+1 (t1810)
MP1 (t1470)
MP2 (t1410)

Preflop: Hero is Button with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls t20, MP2 calls t20, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t100</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls t80, MP2 calls t80.

Flop: (t330) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
MP1 checks, MP2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t220</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises to t1370</font>, MP2 folds,

So he openlimped, coldcalled 100, and now checkraise pushes. This feels like a 20/180.

Thoughts? lol donkaments?

AS a designated 20/180 playa I put him on some sort of a combo draw and call because I'm ahead and runner-runner spades are not necessarily bad for us...

I do not have any actual knowledge of how JB plays, it's just MY likely holding in his spot with that action.

He is hoping you know his favorite hand is 79... lol.
Have you played a considerable amount with him before?

Never played with him before, but I'd fold anything less than 55 here.

Seems like a pretty easy fold. You're either way behind a set, or slightly ahead of 77/overs + flush draw with a chance of 99.

For the most part, I think a fold here is good unless you guys have played a lot together and he knows your style really well. After you raise 2 limpers he probably puts you on a pretty decent hand and he isn't afraid of it on that ugly flop...I think your equity against his range is shot.

You can only put yourself slightly ahead here with 2 cards to come at best. With the blinds at level 1 your still in good shape if you fold and wait for a better spot.

BTW - if this was Nath you'd have to fold because he's doing it with 74s all day....
