Haha, good one.
Wait, you're serious? Come on 1C5, you're a decent player from what I've seen over the past few months. Don't tell me you're actually considering folding this? |

Re: Haha, what I get myself into.
he can kiss his stack good bye. gg.
please don't tell me you laid this one down. F the big stack. They are typically the loosest, luckiest player at the table. The kind that rasises with crap out of position and pushes when they are dominated and catch a lucky river. |

Re: Haha, what I get myself into.
I don't like the flop bet - I would push here.

Don't worry I called, but these are the situations where it would be a kick in the crotch to lose to 2 pair or a last card flush for 4th place.

Re: Haha, what I get myself into.
I think this situation is either a push or a fold FP. A small raise invites the big stack to see a flop and then you have to play with a guy willing to gamble --- when you are virtually assured 3rd place if you wait a couple hands. I want this guy to gamble with me after I made it ITM.
Sadly enough, I fold FP here. If big stack is a bit of a maniac, I don't want to take the chance of him calling me right now, even if I am a favorite. If you loose, you are EV -20$. If you win, not sure your EV is +20$... even if you weight it by the win/loss probability. |

Re: Haha, what I get myself into.
I think you made your choice PF...you just gotta stick to it. If you are afraid of bubbling, fold PF. FWIW, I think folding here is bad but not horrible.
I don't think pushing is great here. The raise gives you a chance to get out if BS pushes and BB doesn't come along. Don't want coinflips or even 60/40s. IMO, big stack should've pushed any two here and put you to a big decision as BB would have likely folded as he would probably try to limp to money. That said, on the flop if you don't want to make a decision to call for all your chips after you hit a great flop, simply push. If you are trying take a risk and double up, your bet was fine (as it seemed likely BS would just push anything here as your bet looks scared). I think pushing this flop would have been a better line cause I don't want a showdown here and there are plenty of chips in there already. |
