fundingone's decision

This table has been limping a lot. Fold or come over the top?? We're about 30 away from the money. Top 20 get paid.

[fortextreme]

Couple things to consider.

Is the large stack philhelmut capable of limping with a monster from early position to trap a late position raiser? Also when philhelmut limps does he call to see a flop or has he been folding if someone shows strength?

A major reason against just calling is that BIGboobs26 may come back over the top for his 1810 and then you may be facing another reraise all in from heimalex the original raiser. Without BIGboobs26 you may be able to call this (if philhelmut is also likely to call it). But like you asked it looks like all-in/fold situation.

I would recommend folding here. heyimalex has to know that philhelmut is going to call with his large stack, so he probably has a strong hand. You are at best a coinflip and at worst a major dog to an over pair.

Another hand, in the tourney. I raised the last pot and have been pretty agressive because we just got off the bubble. My last hand I was just bluffed by 25 suited and checked it down with AQ. Anything wrong?

Bet that flop hard. I'd probably pot or push it but I like taking pots down uncontested when I am reasonably sure I am ahead especially at this stage of a tourney.

With that turn card I might consider folding unless I am sure allin guy is T high or bluffing the scare card. But that is Mr weak survival guy talking
