Default Re: $22: ITM post-flop play

I was wondering if someone would mention that. Is T9s good enough to play 3-handed getting 5:1 from the pot?

Considering that he was getting 5:1 and calling was costing him 1 / 17th of his stack (and his hand plays well multi-way) I would absolutely call here PF.

his hand plays well multi-way deep, but flopping a draw has only limited value here (i'd rather be heads up so i can get a-i on the flop and win more often). we're also deep enough that i'm really not psyched about getting a-i with TPNK.

finally, folding pre-flop makes it more likely the big stack busts SB.

don't get me wrong - i think calling is ok, but folding a little better.

I would normally check-raise all-in here. But you bet, and the min raise makes it look more like an overpair to me, and the SB cold-calling that looks pretty suspicious to me. I wouldn't be surprised if SB shows trips to bust Button's overpair.

Well said on all counts.

You will never see me fold getting 5-1 when it's such a small portion of my stack. It's just way too good.
