Am I the fish or is he? (2-7)

[Wubbie075]

.25/.5 2-7 on UB

so I was not paying attention and completely blew a hand... I stood pat on final draw with 34567 (yes, I know I am a moron) and villain drew 1... thinking I had a made hand (yes, I know I am a moron) I bet into him and he called me with 22...

is he insane to call with a pair against a pat hand or is this the right play in some cases??

yes, I know I am a moron, but for the sake of this discussion this is not relevant, so let's please not waste any time discussing why I thought a straight was good...

I'm just wondering if it is EVER correct to call with a pair <u>against a pat hand</u> in these micro-limit games? or should I just be very pleased that there are ppl out there who think a pair could possibly be good in that spot?

You on this hand, him in the long run.

One thing that happens sometimes that makes me call with any pair is when you get confused people playing draw high.. This is something you run into a lot in micro limits.. Sadly this doesnt happen in many games above 30-60 [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

As a whole calling with a pair is pretty awful to catch snow because you lose to a lot of hands that people are using to snow. For example if you call with 33.. someone could have 22789 and is now betting for value on you.. I sometimes snow reguardless of what pairs ive made because ive sensed weakness.. For example he draws 1 on second draw I draw 2 but have a feeling his draw is bad, i may raise and stand pat with whatever i catch.. Ive had a person call me with 22 before and My AQ238 was good... Bottom line, if you try to catch snow you should do it with a hand that serves to beat most of the hands people snow with.

Yea he made a horrible call but sometimes ppl will call with a pair or a Q or K and I am just wondering what the hell they are thinking...but its ok I did the same thing as you once
