To start this was not a tournament though only 3 of us remained so it basically became a last man standing scenario anyway. On to the hand...
Hero ~$28.00
BB ~$28.00
Dealer ~$45.00
Hero is SB with ATo
Dealer calls BB of $.50
Hero raises to $1.50
BB folds
Dealer calls $1.00
Flop is: T 7 7 rainbow
Hero bets $5.00
Dealer is All-in
Before the all-in the dealer put on a big show which seemed to me to indicate strength (I thought I had remembered him doing something similar in a previous session). I ended up folding after a long thought but a strong NL player told me after that I have to call there. I have a few questions:
Should I have called? With three players TPTK is very strong but what could his range of hands be to go all-in? I seriously doubted a bluff here but I suppose it was possible.
Also, the NL player told me that $5 was an "overbet." I don't really understand this concept or what it means. Is it too much of a bet? Why or why not?
