Uh, call?

Re: Kings under heavy fire, how to act?
 

You can't fold here for 2.5:1.

Re: Kings under heavy fire, how to act?
 

What hands do you put him on? Witch of thouse do you have beat? I can only see AQs (and KK).
That said, your geting good odds to call (2,7:1)and have al ready invested ca: 30% of your stack so if you can bring a 100$ more if you lose call.
If not, at least think about folding.

He got improper odds to hit his set. If he got lucky, without an amazing read, you have to pay him off.

Re: Kings under heavy fire, how to act?
 

Most people aren't raising from EP with 4's or 6's so I'd rule them out - maybe he has AA-QQ. More likely is AKs or AQs.

You are just calling a pot sized flop bet (actually less given your stack) - maybe I'm dense but I don't see how you fold this here.

Re: Kings under heavy fire, how to act?
 

You´r a smal favourite against AK [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (55/45)
You´r a smal dog against AQs (49/51)
you´r a BIG dog against QQ, AA (8/92)
If he has KK it´s 82% chance of a tie

You don´t call for the of chance of hitting a K. IF you call you do it because there is to much money in the pot.
You are going to lose money, the question is if you will lose less by calling or folding.

Re: Kings under heavy fire, how to act?
 

this looks to me like a guy who: A. doesn't want a call, but might not hate one either; or B. a guy who figures he might have the best hand and doesn't figure he can get away from it considering the size of the pot and your smallish amount left, and he probably figures he's gonna have to put it all in anyway. I think a set of queens would have bet out half of Hero's stack or checked here. I think you have to call. I think you're up against A-Q or A-K with the draw.

yeah, of course, it's possible he could have a set of queens and be afraid of As Ks. But Hero sure didn't play the hand like A-K. I think everyone at the table knows he's got aces or kings. That's why I said it looks like someone who is trying to push him off a hand. Most people who flop top set with that pot size, Hero's stack size, and knowing Hero has aces or kings are either betting out half Hero's stack in an effort to get it all or are c/r him all in. Either way, they're looking to get Hero committed to that pot. Open pushing the flop doesn't fit that MO. Of course, it's possible though. Either way, considering the pot size and stack size, I think Hero has to call here.
