Top pair. OESD. Huge pot.
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (10 handed) converter
Button (t955) SB (t540) BB (t1055) UTG (t1280) UTG+1 (t1575) UTG+2 (t1485) Hero (t975) MP2 (t1005) MP3 (t590) CO (t540) Preflop: Hero is MP1 with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises to t60</font>, UTG+2 calls t60, Hero calls t60, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 raises to t100</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, UTG+1 calls t40, UTG+2 calls t40, Hero calls t40. Flop: (t445) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets t100</font>, UTG+2 calls t100, Hero?? Initial PF call is....well....debatable. Call of the reraise is a no-brainer. UTG+1 busted out of my other tournament on a ridiculously dumb call. So we show him no credit. Push or fold this flop? |

Re: Top pair. OESD. Huge pot.
I fold pre-flop but since you already know that...
push it! |

Re: Top pair. OESD. Huge pot.
I would have folded this preflop, but since that is past...
I think the key to this hand is what are your reads on UTG+2 and MP3? You should have some idea on UTG+2 at least since he has accumulated a decent chip stack. Without any reads on these two players I would push. I wouldn't be thrilled with it given the board and the preflop action, but given that you know UTG+1 makes bad calls I would figure in that there is a reasonable chance that he calls with a much worse hand. This hand seems too strong to fold and calling here just seems wrong. Hope this helps. |

Re: Top pair. OESD. Huge pot.
I don't particularly dislike the PF call, and I think you should definitely push this flop. You're likely either way ahead or slightly behind. (EDIT: And I think you'll have a relatively hard time getting your straight paid by more conventional means; four cards to broadway on the board is kind of ominous. A flush hitting probably crimps your action as well.)

My guess is that you'll end up with about a 30-40% chance to triple on through as I doubt you can win this pot without showdown. What's the buyin anyways?

I'm pretty sure I can give Lorinda's answer.
If money per hour is your primary objective, PUSH! Scuba |

Re: Top pair. OESD. Huge pot.
So nobody is worried that our diamond outs may not be good?

Re: Top pair. OESD. Huge pot.
Definitely pushing if it's a rainbow flop. But I'm probably calling this one and pushing any non-diamond turn. I don't have much experience at the 55 level or higher but I'm sure a PF call like this is absolutely necessary from time to time since the competition is tougher and more observant. Or are the 55s still pretty weak?

If you wanna keep playing it, then i dont think you played it wrong preflop - the one thing im not keen on is how early your position is. Phill |
