77 flop 556 turn 6
This hand has been on my mind for some time--I think I made the right play--what do you think?
Two weeks ago, playing NLHE, $20 buy-in, tourny format. Blinds: $2/$4. Chip stacks are roughly even at between $250 and $350. UTG+1 and I have about the same stacks.
I hold: 77
I don't recall the suits, but there was never a flush draw out.
UTG: calls
me: raise $10
button: calls
BB & SM: fold
UTG: calls
Flop: 556
UTG: bet $10
Me: raise $30
button: folds
UTG: calls
Turn: 6
UTG: bets $40
Me: raise $60
UTG: All-In
I thought for a while and folded. UTG shows K6 for full house. Dealer turns over next card (they like to rabbit almost every hand in this game) and it's a 7.
My thinking: Even though the UTG is the kind of guy who will call down with a straight draw, I thought his preflop call was questionable for a 34 or 87 holding. If he was on a straight draw, I thought that I would be right to call his all-in, but since I thought he had the full house, I folded.
My question is, should I have considered that UTG could have had either a straight draw or the full house when I evaluated whether or not to call, and if so, how many times would I have had to be correct to make calling profitable?
