View Full Version : horrible call?

Is this just a horrible call or is it one i can actually make confidently in my game, if i put him on a hand that dominates mine like AA. Enough implied odds with third player in the pot?

No way in hell you have the implied odds to call this /images/graemlins/smile.gif If the three of you had 200.00, it would be worth calling to flop a set.

EDIT: I'm dumb, UTG has $34. You have to call $7 and you only stand to win his additional $24 if you flop a set. This is not good. You cannot make up the 7:1 odds you are taking against flopping a set. Without a strong read that UTG would do this with AK and other non-big pair hands, this is a fold.
