I think you just gotta hope you triple up.

Yeah thats waht i figured, yet i somehow convinced myself to fold. I was worried about the other caller and being against an overpair.

But in hindsight i should have called

Anyone else have any opinions on this?

I make this call easily. Your stack is screwed if you don't. Let's hope that you're against one over or a lower PP.

I'll say fold.

You still have a few more hands before the blinds get you again.
It's far more likely that you'll be 3 or 4 overcards if not an overpair, than be up against 55 and 66.
Sure you've gotta gamble it up, but at least do it when someone at least has the option of accidentally hitting the fold button.

Open push any 2 the next time that it is folded to you.

I agree with this. To call here is a big gamble, plus its far better in a situation like this to be the better rather than the caller

well let's look at the odds

what are the odds that 77 beats 2 other hands?

what are the odds that a random hand dealt to him next will beat a calling hand?

then factor in 3x instead of 2x up, but also factor in FE the next time...and what do we get?
