Free-roll tourney on VC last night. We're down to the last 27. I am the BB with about 8500 and am holding 4-6off. The blinds are 300/600. Everyone folds, except the small blind who just calls and is the chip leader with 34000. The flop comes 3-5-7 rainbow. I have the nuts. The small blind bets 600, I just call. I put him on top pair, or a bluff. The turn brings another 6. He bets 600 again, so I definitely put him on a 6, with no pre-flop raise I don't put him on any 'big' cards, although he has just joined the table, so I don't have any read on him. I re-raise him all-in, and he calls without hesitation. He turns over aces, so I am miles clear, he can only hit 4 cards with the river to come. As you can guess he hit a 6 to make his full. Now should I have taken the big stack on? My reckoning was that I would double through, which would ensure my final table position. Any thoughts folks?

Am I missing something? How did he win with AA against your straight? Flop was 357, turn 6, river 6? That gives him 2 pair not a boat to beat the straight. At the turn he was drawing dead. Or am I completely missing something here. It is 4am so if I am give me a break.

No. He must have screwed up in the telling of the hand. I had to read it two or three times, but I get the same result as you.

Sorry fellas, it was 3-5o I had and the flop was 6-4-2 rainbow. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Materazzi,

I would have raised the flop. SB can have anything. Letīs say, he has TP, something like T6 or whatever. If you just call, and 3 or 5 and any card from 7 to A (which is no T) is a scare card for him. Therefore Iīd raised the flop and hoped that he put me on a steal. Itīs hard to double up in this hand, unless he has hit something very good (and has outs therefore) or is a bit of a bully (or a very loose caller).

Raise the flop and hope that he has hit 2 pair or slowplayed an overpair. In this case all the money might go in on the flop while you are way ahead.

Anyway, very tough luck for you.

Best regards
