I was playing on my friends account when this happened, so he doesn't know it's me he's playing against. The reg is solid.

Can't he be limp trapping you with AJ/AT/AK/JJ as well as all the hands that do beat you? I don't think you can fold here.

[Kevin8423]

I would never even consider folding here. A limp here can be with a pretty wide range of good hands, most that don't beat you here, and all that would bet when you check.

I know what your thinking but Top pair + 7bbs = nuts

[Kevin8423]

Also just to add, even though shoving over pf would be horrible and very -EV, shoving this flop is much different with top pair and a short stack.

[RexWoo]

FWIW, my limping range is JJ+, AK, here, maybe TT, AQ.

That said, I don't think you can fold, really, as even against that tiny range you're ahead 50% of the time.

I doubt shoving preflop would be -EV, though this is very dependent on the HU match thus far and the particular opponent. Just because he's a reg doesn't mean he won't complete with sheot. Against many opponents, completing and betting every flop is a superior strategy to HU pushbot.

Spacegravy,

Srsly? You're considering folding here? I'm almost never folding 2nd pair here, let alone TP.

I guess thats possible, but its unlikely that one of the first limps in 300/600 from a solid reg is anything but a monster trying to get you to shove.

CRAI + make a note

[fluorescenthippo]

easy push. he is "trapping" with JJ, AK, AT enough here. also, maybe he just completes random crap here against an unknown.
