party 6 max NL great table

utg (decent), and MP (48/22/3...$1.2k) limp, i join them with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

sb ($3k) a maniac who has said "he just plays for fun" (59/30/2.5), makes it 60 from the SB, not sure what this means, but he has at least something here, not 34s.

limpers call, i call.

flop ($275): 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

sb bets pot (he has at least AJ here, id say), MP raises all in a flash.

its on me, I have $1k left.

With 55 here, I think the default play is to call.

um, something is not congruent with the title, and the hand.

gomberg · #5 05-12-2005, 10:03 PM

can MP be raising all-in here on a draw? On a set? What do you think? If it's more likely to be a draw, I like a call... you never know, maniac could fold an AJ type hand (maybe? - need to know the player). If I had to guess, it seems like your equity would be around even money - so if you like to gamboool, then call [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I can think of a lot of good scenarios and some bad ones, but you're pretty live in all of them - so it can't be that bad to call even if you're wrong.

i was talking to a 2+2er, and before i told him about the hand, i said that i need a post title, and that is what was recommended.

disregard it if that helps. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Is the title a clever way of saying SB has 55?

Anyway, if you think MP is willing to make this play with 57[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]/79[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (which he probably is) then I am much closer to calling.

Otherwise his most likely hand is a set which decreases your equity greatly. SB will probably call, right?

other than those PT #'s, i dont have any detailed knowledge of their play, esp. postflop.

we need to know a couple things... is the mp gonna call this bif PFR with a suited connector?is sb gonna overcall with AJ-AK? how long have you been playing with these guys... this is prob a fold...

guys, knowing the preflop limp call standards and postflop specifics of those range of hands is just not going to happen unless i play bunch of hrs with these guys. both were new tonight, so i let the PT's do the talking for me.
