What to do with Top 2? $55
 

i'm really in a bind here and unfortunately i didn't acquire
any reads on these numpty's yet. i'm really feeling a fold here, is that the right move? i'll still be left with alot of chips.
the guy who pushed over the top could be on a flush draw with overs, but the guy flat-calling has to have something? is that right? is this an easy laydown with top 2?

I don't see how you can lay this down. I would push.

For me it is not an easy laydown. I probably push and and stare into a set of 6es

exactly that's what i figure too. there's also straight potential and flush potential out there too. so i'd say half the time you are already beat, and half of the time that you are ahead you will be beat by the river.

maybe i'm too tight.

Re: What to do with Top 2? $55
 

Straight and flush DRAW potential. And the chance to almost triple up when neither hit. It's very unusual for both to be on a draw anyway.

Re: What to do with Top 2? $55
 

i'm not saying both are on a draw. i'm saying one is likely on a draw, while the other could either already have me beat.

Re: What to do with Top 2? $55
 

He could. But he could equally have AK/AQ, as well. It's probably close but you should come out ahead enough in this situation to make this a call. In my opinion.

You can't lay it down. I push, too.

Re: What to do with Top 2? $55
 

In a MTT with lots of play left I fold this, in a SNG I push every time.

I think this is quite an easy repush here. BB could have a bajillion hands, and MP2 could have any A and then some. Very easy repush IMO.
