10 dollar sitngo on party. During 25/50 I'm in MP of 7-handed with TT, 730 chips. One ep limper and I elect to call. I felt a raise to 250 wouldnt guarantee a headsup pot and I'd probably just bleed so I decided to play for set value.
Another mp limper, sb checks, bb completes. Flop is 723 spades and I have a spade. Checked to me I bet 175 into 250 and the bb mini-raises. This to me said he had a flush but a fold here would leave me with a little over 10xbb with 50/100 coming in about 5 hands. If he has 2 pair I have a decent amount of outs.
I decide to raise all-in. In this situation would you have folded? With the type of play scene at 10 dollar buy-in you never really know whatsup, but the mini check-raise is usually an indication of strength. I felt my tournament ev would be better just biting the bullet and hoping I'm wrong rather than hoping to catch cards in the next 5 hands or wind up with 5x bb.
