Should I smooth call, or reraise here?

Re: Early $215 blinds hand ?
 

Wow, that's tough. That early in a tournament I think I'd just call. I'd of course be ticked when he turned over 75 for a straight, but I'm not sure I could forgive myself if he turns over K6 for the boat. I think I'd rather have extracted slightly less, than face an allin.

So, I think I'd call.

Re: Early $215 blinds hand ?
 

I would bet the turn here.

On the river...I'd normally just call.

Re: Early $215 blinds hand ?
 

Could someone tell me why this is simply a call? I don't know if I am just being obtuse or what.

Re: Early $215 blinds hand ?
 

Well if you raise and you are beaten, you will often be tested with your whole stack. Also you run the risk that your opponent is misjudging the strength of his low flush or his 6, and end up folding the best hand if that were to happen. If you simply move allin on the river, I'm just not sure if the risk/reward is there.

Re: Early $215 blinds hand ?
 

I don’t think he will over estimate his low flush with that board. I don’t think you should check this. Raising to 350 is my feeling but that might just be my reckless-aggressiveness side. I just don’t like smooth calling this.

Re: Early $215 blinds hand ?
 

Maybe you are right, you plan to fold to a reraise then I suppose?

Re: Early $215 blinds hand ?
 

i don't like raising planning to fold to a reraise here. i think that if you're willing to fold to the reraise, calling originally is better.

Yes Im always scared to online because people sometimes overvalue hands or simply go insane.

Re: Early $215 blinds hand ?
 

Yea I guess you guys are right. I would call given the information that was presented to us.

Ack...rough situation. Is there any way to find out what is mathmatically correct here?
