200-400 hand
 

last night at the commerce. the game just started, and everyone wants their share of the live out-of-towner's money. utg +2 opens with a raise, next player folds, loose player to my right calls, I call with 77. the player on my left calls, and both blinds call. the flop is 67Jr. blinds check, raiser bets, loose player calls, I call and so does the next player. blinds fold.

turn is 8. raiser bets, loose player raises, I reraise, and next guy caps it. raiser hims and haws for a while, then calls. loose player calls, too.

river is a J. board is 67J8J. raiser leads out, loose player calls, I raise, tears well up in the capper's eyes as he mucks his hand. raiser reraises, loose player lets out a whimper as he folds.

what would you do?

I think you missed your 1-outer, but I'm sure as hell not letting him walk off with $12K without showing me his 4 jacks. If I folded, I wouldn't be able to sleep for weeks [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img].

I'd call. What else can you do?

Re: 200-400 hand
 

Well, seems I have 3 choices. Folding is out of the question because I can buy a new car if I win the hand. Raising seems wrong because I probably don't have the best hand and I'm not going to get a better hand to fold. So I call and pray he somehow has pocket 6s or T-9s (although is seems the capper must have had the T-9) and has fallen in love with his hand.

You have to call, if not pound.....

Re: 200-400 hand
 

call.

I have a hard time imaging any different responses that can be supported by reason, but i'm willing to listen.

I would have considered folding pre-flop.

I would call the river.

Re: 200-400 hand
 

I would think that in order to call on the turn and bet the river, raiser can beat a straight. And as far as hands that beat straights go, yours isn't looking too good on this board. So I would have just called on the river in the first place and gone for the overcall from capper. Once he reraises you can't fold because he might have 66.
