Soooted trash in the BB

[Entity]

A little read on CO: he had been making bad plays throughout the game. Went all-in against me earlier when I was the big stack with AJo (I had TT). Had called preflop raises consistently with garbage (Q6o comes to mind). He had raised the last couple of hands, each for a minraise, but those were the first hands he had raised. MP was playing with a shortstacked mentality even though his stack wasn't that bad.

All that being said, is my call the worst thing in the world here?

You had the flush, not the nut flush, but the odds that he had a higher flush are not very big. I would call every time. The preflop call is more questionable than the turn call. I would've played it harder on the flop to protect the weak flush. He probably had a set or JT.

Hi Entity,

I have no problem with the pre-flop call. You're calling one BB, getting 9:2 immediate plus implied odds, on a hand that's easy to fold if you don't like the flop. The flop hit as well as you could ask for, and you went with it. If someone else out-flushed you ... *shrugs* ... oh well.

The preflop call is all I was concerned about. I knew I was going to the felt once that flop hit.

I guess my post sounded results oriented, which is funny, because it wasn't. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I took down the pot with my flush against his KKK (this is why you don't minraise with premium hands, unless you really want action /images/graemlins/smile.gif). I just finished up the SNG in 1st, against another player who asked me: "Can you really play that bad?" I just told him I was a limit player, then proceeded to crush him. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I don't like the pre-flop call. Even if the guy sucks and will give you his stack when you have a winner, the hand just does not have enough ways to win. Make it a one-gapper or connected, and I'm satisfied.

too much of a stretch for me to call

i will call with lots of garbage if i'm guaranteed action from a chook when i hit but its too hard to hit this hand - i'm not paying for a flush draw on the flop so i may as well fold it now

You must raise the flop. Why let a hand like A /images/graemlins/spade.gifT /images/graemlins/club.gif see the turn?
