Villain is losing player over 140 tourneys. Do we have to let this go?

[mnlgrind]

if villain is a losing player, I call this all day.

[Green Kool Aid]

Call vs. anyone.

[Hercules]

BBV pls.
If you ever thought a second about folding vs a fish, then you are playing way to nitty.

[ManChild]

easy call

[chaz64]

So everyone is ready to go broke on the first hand with TPTK? What hand(s) do you expect villain to show here? (I called, lost to A2o, and felt like a fool.)

Would you have played any street differently than I did? If villain is a winning player is this a fold?

[Mark L]

bet a little more on the flop.

[ManChild]

if villian was a winning player this never woulda happened, bc he wouldnt have played the hand this way PF

[eurythmech]

There is no reasonable way to put these guys on a range, just call because you're good here so ridic often.

Hi Chaz64,

Well, the pot is around 2100 and it costs around 900 to call. With TPTK, very few hands that Villain could logically have that beat you (namely a set), and getting considerably better than 2:1, I think you really have to call.

However, I think it is very good that you are analyzing this hand since many players bust early simply because they assume top pair must be good. Sorry it didn't work out this time, but you made the correct play.

Best Regards,
Collin
