KK in live 2/5 NL
 

Playing a 2/5 NL home game. 8-handed.

Weekly game everyone knows everyone very well. Villian is aggressive and solid, but can be a little loose. Game just started all stacks are near $200.

UTG folds. Hero gets K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] UTG+1 and raises to $15 (standard raise). Folded to villian on the button who calls, SB and the BB comes along.

3 to the flop

7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 10 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

BB checks, Hero bets 30, Villian goes all-in.

BB folds.

Hero???

with a straight/flush draw on board these decisions are always the most diffucult. If you know he would rarely semi-bluff then this is an easy fold. You could definately be looking at a set possibility. I would lay this one down. Seems like your a small fav. or bid dog situation.

Re: KK in live 2/5 NL
 

you are getting pretty good odds, I probably call.

Re: KK in live 2/5 NL
 

stacks are 40bbs and you have an overpair. why would you ever fold?

RESULTS
 

I called and villian showed 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Turn was J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] river was Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. He made his straight and stacked me.

Nearly everyone here would have made the call. Would others here have pushed on the OESFD if you were the villian?

Thanks,
Vince

Re: RESULTS
 

the only way i wouldn't immediately push with the OESFD is if I convinced myself that you had AKc and I would still end up doing it probably.
15 outs always looks good with two cards to come.

I hope you realize that although you lose the flush outs, you pick up 6 pair outs to a winning hand, although he has a good redraw if you hit.

Re: RESULTS
 

He had to push you had to call. Decisions are pretty straight forward with stacks that shallow.

Re: RESULTS
 

If you think you had a read on him (loose), then the call was correct regardless of the outcome. The only reason I like his play is the limited stacks to start. If he made that play in a bigger stack game, it would probably let him win a small one or lose a big one most of the time.
