Hand of a friend of mine's:

[EricW]

My friend played a 5$ sit n go, forget which site but he starts off with 1500 chips.

Blinds were 10/20

Buddy of mine is in BB "4,4" and someone raised to 100. There were two flat calls and my buddy calls.

Flop comes

3 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 4 /images/graemlins/spade.gif J /images/graemlins/spade.gif

Buddy bets 200, next guy reraised him to 500, other guy goes all in.


I berated my friend for playing that hand with a raise. But aside from that, what does he do on the flop? That bet was weak weak weak. But now that he is reraised twice, easy fold or call?

Yeah, obviously the PF call was not at all great this early on. When he flops his set on an all spades flop, I think he's gotta get all his money in. The raise and re-raise could easily be an overpair and top pair, both trying to protect themselves from the other one (who they suspect is on a flush draw). Plus, one of them may well be on a flush draw...and even if one of them has the flush, your buddy has two cards to come to fill up...he has seven live outs right now and another 3 on the turn if it doesn't hit.

This obviously assumes he's not drawing near-dead against JJ...which is possible, but unlikely. My bet is he's up against KK and AJ, possibly with both of them having a spade. He's gotta take those odds to triple up.

He has a set, there's no way I am folding this, even if someone's flopped the flush then you have 6 outs to the boat on the turn, increasing to 9 by the river, and of course the one out to quads.

Yeah, saw that when I was looking back at my response and changed it...thanks, though.
