One of my leaks is that I tend to overvalue big pocket pairs.

In this hand I feel I would be behind most of the time to at least one of the villains (if not both) and in a coin flip with the other at best. Yes? No?

Pre-flop:

1 fold. UTG+1 calls. MP
raises to $4.50. 2 folds.
Hero calls. 2 folds.
SB re-raises to $26. 1 fold. MP goes all-in for $36.05. Hero folds.
SB calls.


My plan with the flat call of the first raise was to push any flop w/o an Ace or King. If I had reraised the original raiser, say, make it $15 to go, that would have been about 1/3 my stack and would have made it very hard to lay down to either of the re-raises.

Comments?

regards,
Tim

(ps- I'm almost certain that if this hand happend on Party I would call in a second)

I like it. No need to pot commit yourself preflop when you have position on the original raiser, and an easy laydown after the all-ins. nh.
