Hand from tonight's UB $75k guaranteed

Soul Rebel · #1 03-30-2006, 01:13 AM

Blinds are 200/400 with 50 ante. I have 10k in chips, everyone else in the hand has over 20k, and the villain is in the top 10. The villain has been playing a lot of pots, and has been running well. I haven't been at the table too long, but I haven't noticed anything special from the other two opponents.

Villain limps in MP1, MP2 and MP3 limp behind. I'm CO with TT no diamonds. I raise to 1500, the blinds fold, but Villain and MP2 call. 3 to the flop for a pot of T6000.

Flop: 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Villain bets half my remaining stack for 4200.

I thought this was an easy decision, but I'd like to hear what others think.

I hate the size of your preflop raise. With 3 limpers and TT in LP, I'd make it at least 2500, possibly 3k.

As for how it played out, I can't fold an overpair in this spot.

Thanks for the input fellas, I've been in some weird situations lately and just needed a quick check with this. Good point about the raise size. I pushed the flop and the villain showed QQ.

If I had raised to 2500 and he made the same bet on the flop, does that make it easier for you guys to fold this? Considering his QQ, I feel like I was going broke here no matter what.
