$5 - HU TPGK all-in call?
 

Villian had been calling and betting when he'd hit near enough any part of a flop, be it one pair, or two pair... should I have really let this go when he pushed however?

If you're going to re-raise him at all, I would have put him all in. Otherwise, just flat calling his raise to 500 is understandable.

Fold. His betting seems to indicate he has you beat, let alone the fact that blinds are still so small. I assume you consider yourself better than your opponent, so fold and outplay him the rest of the match.

Fold. Unless he plays bad. But you indicated otherwise.

raise preflop

Re: $5 - HU TPGK all-in call?
 

Wow, you guys are folding?

If you'd raised preflop, you could have gotten him to fold the 73o.

1. I agree. Raise PF 600.

2. Call the flop reraise. Think about check-calling/folding the turn and river depending on the price to you.

3. Given where you're at, fold to villian's push. You're either beat on this hand or villian's loose, which means that you should be able to catch him pushing again when you've got a stronger hand.

Yeah... I should have raised PF I agree. I'd been raising a lot however so just limped to mix up my play a bit, but I know KQo is not the hand to play around with, especially if I'm gonna go broke on TPGK maybe it's not so good, he turned over AK for TPTK and I'm a 2nd place finisher. One of those calls where you feel like a champion when he flips over KT, or feel like a right donk when he has AK. meh.
