($27) Puke (ITM hand even stacks)
 

They both with their bets, they both probably have a piece. The question is, how much of one?

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (3 handed) converter

BB (t4625)
Button (t4750)
Hero (t4125)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
Button calls t150, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t450) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets t300</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t1200</font>, Hero ???

There chance you will win this pot is not worth the risk here.

I think you had enough to lead out here, but with a bet and a raise you can't stick around.

I am raising this PF.

Flop is a fold. Even if ahead, reverse implied odds suck if both end up coming along.

Re: ($27) Puke (ITM hand even stacks)
 

What is BB leading with on this scary board OOP? K (absent a PF raising A)? flush draw?
What is button raising strong here that he wouldn't raise PF? JT? KQ (maybe)? flush draw?

Aside from the fact that you might be facing at least 2-pair, you have BB yet to act.

I probably would have looked to c-r BB's lead myself, had button folded. You still have
a lot of poker to play. Here, it's time to muck IMO.

Isn't this a reason to reraise?

Re: ($27) Puke (ITM hand even stacks)
 

i think i reraise one, but fold to raise/reraise.. Reraising 1200 risks too much. Most calls will have you beat

Minus the FD, it's precisely the KQ/JT that could make this raise, no? With the FD on board?

To lazy to hit the back button, but a LAG read on button, pushing off the flush buyer...maybe. But you're looking at risking at a minimum 1/2 your chips rereraising.

I don't think it's a cardinal(?) sin pushing here, but I'd have to be soley read dependant. Based on the action to this point, I don't think you put him on a range that you're ahead of enough to do this - especially at 75/150.

Ps. How the heck did you get ITM this fast?!?!?
