I'd call. If this was a 50+5, I'd prob fold, but there are plenty of donks in 30+3. How it got to Level 3 with still 10 players is beyond me. Were you playing at 9 AM or something?

You can be patient and fold here if you dont want to get involved in the pot. You are next on the button, but depending on when the blinds jump, you are going to have to make a move pretty soon. And with blinds 50/100 and a 600 stack, your move will have to be strong. So, you might just want to push here and assume you won’t have a better opportunity within the next 7 or 8 hands. Looks like someone is going to get busted on this hand, that just gives you one less hand to catch before you hit the blinds again...so I would call this.

I would assume that bijoux is going to call the push, never know if bright eyes will just let this hand go. I have a feeling you are looking at being up against a pair and a strong ace. Just hope your pair is the best and it holds up.

This is not unusual in the 33s, even at peak times.

at peak times, there are more than enough donkeys that at least one person gets busted in levels 1 and 2. i'm not saying its completely rare, but rather unlikely.

Any reads? with ten players left at level three makes me assume the table is very tight - in which case the raise/re-raise/push is dangerous.

You've got two players who have openly indicated strength by open raising and re-raising behind you, and bijoux is pretty much committed. I'd probably let this go, you've got plenty of chips and if the table is overly tight you shouldn't have any trouble bullying them as the blinds escalate.

Note that the very fact that everyone is still here indicates that this is probably an unusually tough table.

I'd fold, I think you'll find AA or KK out there more than half the time. It's close though, a call isn't terrible, especially considering your stack size and the overlay if one of the initial raisers folds, but I would still fold.

I'd tend to agree. I guess by not unusual, I meant that in a set of 8 I would not be shocked if it happened on 1-2 of my tables.

Fold in a heartbeat. It'd be extremely hard for you to be winning right now. Even if you do have the best hand, chances are you're only 7-3 to A-x. The combination of being pretty unlikely to be the best hand and not being that big of a favorite even if you are is jus bleh.

fold

so what happened?

I think you have to fold. Tight table combined with the way the action unfolds IMO you gotta be lookin @ AA or KK...

[Freudian]

By level 3 you should have some read on these players. This can be anything from an easy fold to an easy call.

With 600 chips it would take very tight players to get me to lay down queens.

edit: sorry missed one of the raises. With three players really liking their hands I lean towards folding. Reads may convince me otherwise.
