You know that you're double-gutted too, right?

smurph · #3 03-06-2005, 05:14 PM

yeah, i knew that

JaBlue · #4 03-06-2005, 05:17 PM

Then why on earth didn't you push?

smurph · #5 03-06-2005, 05:22 PM

I have no idea. Still pissed.

JaBlue · #6 03-06-2005, 05:26 PM

Actually its probably better to smooth call here and hope SB comes along for the ride.

smurph · #7 03-06-2005, 05:33 PM

Ok, i think i was thinking that the raise was so big that i couldn't push him off his hand and if i smooth called the sb wouldn't come along for the ride. Of course, that still is terrible logic since i was a favorite heads up and three ways.

Not against a set. Or if the SB had the king high flush draw (unlikely, but you never know). Folding isn't awful here. Calling is a decent option. But pushing is probably best, especially if you think you'll lose the SB and get CO to fold AK.

The preflop call is a mistake IMO.

Yes. Easy all-in.

I think you probably have too much folding equity to be smooth calling here. But calling is still superior to folding IMO.

I agree with legend, this hand shouldn't be have been played in the first place.
