Got to fold, right? [/ QUOTE ] yeah. but instead of putting 40% of your chips in with a PF raise, just push preflop after he opens. |

Re: Tough tough spot
he may be stop and going a medium pair... your not up against an ace as much as you think, I think he is calling your raise and pushing ANY flop.

[/ QUOTE ] theres obviously a chance of anything, theres a chance he has 72o. the question is whether he has an ace here less than 55-65% of the time (roughly, if my math isnt too terrible), and I don't think that's the case. |

Re: Tough tough spot
That is tough, but he's raising from EP and calling your re-raise out of position.
I probably would have re-raised him from 1200 to 3,000 or so, not 4K. But I can't see calling his push here, you're either way ahead, way behind. With no other reads, I'm dropping here and trying to double up my remaining stack and get back in it. |

Re: Tough tough spot
Well I made the donkey call and won but the reason I posted is that I think Villian made a superb poker play. He really put me to the test on this hand and I nearly folded.
P.S. I'm not talking about his preflop play here, lol. Toro85: calls 4851 *** TURN *** [4h Ah 5s] [6h] *** RIVER *** [4h Ah 5s 6h] [5h] *** SHOW DOWN *** pjcurrie: shows [3c 3s] (two pair, Fives and Threes) Toro85: shows [Kd Ks] (two pair, Kings and Fives) Toro85 collected 18477 from pot Pocono_Pimp said, "vnh" *** SUMMARY *** Total pot 18477 | Rake 0 Board [4h Ah 5s 6h 5h] Seat 1: Pocono_Pimp (small blind) folded before Flop Seat 2: BIGGULP (big blind) folded before Flop Seat 3: pjcurrie showed [3c 3s] and lost with two pair, Fives and Threes Seat 4: Jrc4volz folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 5: Leomun07 folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 6: NotBluffing3 folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 7: Toro85 (button) showed [Kd Ks] and won (18477) with two pair, Kings and Fives |

Re: Tough tough spot
Damn, that's awesome Toro. Pocket 3's, yoikes. That's a ballsy move, raising from EP with such a vulnerable holding, then calling a re-raise out of position and pushing on a flop with one of the cards he should be worried about.
Yeah, he definetely donked it up, but it almost worked. Nice call. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |
