you are getting 2:1 here, the villain 3b you all in, i'm thinking more often than not, your TPTK here is no good, unless the villain gets out of line a lot. he 3b you preflop, which is often AA or KK, or AK, but his flop play looks a lot like KK or AA. It could even be 99 if it's in his 3b range. Eitherway you don't beat too many hands that play like this.

Hi Echeleon, I'm Kurt. Let me introduce you to my friend, the value-call.

That's such a dry board, about the best you can hope for is a split.

i'm a relative newb but i'm giving my opinion anyway. please get several other opinions too.

there are easier and more reliable ways to make $50. villain's stats make him suspicious, but is TPTK really worth your whole stack? i'd fold if i was of sound mind (not tilting).

so just call his flop bet and reevaluate turn? or fold pf because being OOP sucks?

Preflop, either call (as you did), or re-raise him. Since you just called, you can't rule out KK or AA.

I don't mind calling the flop and seeing what the turn brings in this situation. I may even go crazy limp and call him down all the way. But as played, I fold to his push.

call flop bet turn, and fold to a big raise, or c/c a reasonable bet on the river...i think this sounds about right, someone correct me if im wrong.

Echelon · #9 02-05-2007, 05:51 PM

hmm ok, no wonder my flop AF is 7

If you're gonna fold this flop then just fold pf.
