Villain had become the chip leader the previous hand. Wasn't playing especially tight or loose, but had reraised PF a few times. Thanks in advance for any input.

I'll expand on my comment. The majority of the time your opponent will be on a draw. Or he could have top pair. You must call. That is all.

Are you kidding? Of course you fold this flop. There's no way he's making that play with 99, TT, JJ, A8, Ax club!!! Easiest read in poker history.

just a tough break that someone was playing 46 for a raise.
there are a ton of drawing hands and hands you have pretty slaughtered that will come along there.
better luck next time.

I'm swimming upstream here, but I fold.
CO will likely show you two pair or a set. (or, less likely, a straight.) If he's a maniac on a semi-bluff, pay him. The chances of that are probably less than 25%.

He did not call a raise with 46 8 handed right? no way he called a raise when he has little implied odds due to stacks? I must be wrong right? right?? Personally I dont blame folks who think online poker is rigged( plz dont deduce I think online poker is rigged)

Well, I might not do it, but I don't think calling a raise
here is such a bad concept for villain. It's less than 10%
of his stack, he has position with only 3 left to act, and IF hero plays typically tight then villain has a pretty good idea of what hero has. It's easy to get away from a high card flop and easy to bust hero if the flop DOES hit, because hero would never dream of someone calling with 4 6 sooooooooooooted. lolol. I've seen Nick Stokes on UB do this very thing often.
Of course, I suck, so flame away. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

It's about 17% of hero's stack.

I'm talking about the villain - to call hero's PF bet of $200 costs the villain less than 10% of his stack.

Its 17% of hero stack..he has like no implied odds. For example If I have 40000 chips ( blinds are 100/200)..and a short stack that has 3000 chips goes all-in I have to call with 22 because its less than 10% of my stack and I can flop a set.

the thing I hate most about villain's call pf is him being out of position, 3 people to act behind.
i go broke here every single time.

Obviously the results suck and you're going to go bankrupt here 96% of the time.
But...just be happy you play in a game where people will call a 200 chip pre-flop raise with 64s in this spot.

Good call, that guy shouldnt be calling raises with that anyway. I dont think you can really put him on that hand with him calling your raise. lol

My point exactly - I think we're arguing the same thing (though I don't know if I call 3000 chips a SS - I think you meant 300 chips).
