FTP $10+1 FT 3rd hand

[Valsuvious]

I've been playing what I consider tight. I haven't shown down anything bad, minus the two times I was in the bb and called short stacks all in bets. I have raised my stack by crippling or eliminating huge stacks with big hands against their bluffs or weaker hands. Villain had the big stack more than anyone in the tourney, lost it a few times when he called all ins with weaker hands or got sucked out on. Seemed to go tight for a while, but he has been changing it up.

I did check, but I wanted to see what he would do, if he bet normally, then I'd consider folding. But, his massive overbet of the pot had me thinking that he was playing something like QQ or KK. I do think that he knew that if I didn't hit my hand big I'd prob fold.

Is this an easy fold or call???

I really think you need to lead at this flop, but as you played it, I think you have to call this.

[metsfan88]

well, i don't know if this is an easy call. 7 isn't the greatest kicker to call with. he could easily have something like a10-ak. safe play is fold but if you really think he was raising you preflop with garbage call. also might have jj which your pretty much drawing dead unless a miracle runner runner comes.

[venom007]

LOL at metsfan thinking JJ is a possibility here.....I dont think the shove makes it seem like QQ or KK-- theres like 15k chips in the pot and this guy has 35k left, any other bet seems silly, 15k represents something like 40% of his stack, hes shoving AK/AQ/A10/A9 here every time. If he had AJ or JJ then he wouldnt shove. I agree he might also shove with QQ or KK, but just because he shoved doenst make these hands any more likely.
