New to this and just after an opinion on this situation as
it keeps popping up. Only reads are that both players are pretty loose preflop. Been calling raises with K9s Q10o etc

You might be going broke...because you ARE pushing over the top here.

Ps. Just a personal preference, but I'm raising a full 4x here UTG. Certainly a GOOD thing to get a caller, but with one, often comes another from the blinds. Given the blind/stack sizes, I'm not too thrilled about this thing getting 3+ handed, where folks are easily committing themselves to draw friendly flops.

I instantly call this.

Probably the only reason you posted this is because you got rivered, or he hit a miracle on the flop.

I call this at any level - even the 200's

hope this helps /images/graemlins/spade.gif

Sorry - by call, I meant overpush.

You are in a tough spot. Best you can do is try to isolate the all-in. and hope he doesn't hit his diamond.

Instacall, thats a big overbet so a majority of the time he's on a draw and a few times it's a complete bluff. You're ahead enough to make $ here.

Thanks I figured the the bet to be too big as well and called, which was enough to have the player behind me all in as well. He called, I crapped myself, until they turn over QsJs and Qh 10c. Was just checking my play, as i've had this go both ways...
