Not fair to answer if you're a vet. The villian is your typical LLHE Loosey-Goosey player at about a 35/10.

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (6 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls, 1 fold, CO calls, Button calls, SB completes, Hero raises, UTG calls, CO calls, Button calls, SB folds.

What would you do and why?

Easy: fold, reraise, or call.

Is that the one where you use a pencil or pen on the hard drive re-set button?

Call, and Fold if it's reraised to a cap in front. Pray you spike something (T/Q/K/A) on the turn and go from there.

If the villain keeps jamming odds after you spike, he proably has trips. Given what I hear about Party, emphasis on probably.

Give that man a Teddy Bear! That's EXACTLY what happened. UTG c/raised it, then it got capped and I was bye bye!

Allright I'll take a swing at it. Welcome to the mind of a rookie, brace yourself.

Four folks in, not looking great for me at this point, but I am not willing to drop the hand yet. Pot is large and they did not raise pre-flop. I am torn between calling and then folding unimproved on the turn to any action. The other direction I want to go is to raise back since their response gives a much clearer picture of their holding.

Of the two I will call.

Flame away, but educate me in the process.

I would have taken that line with one less opponent.
