another overpair hand

dfscott · #1 04-13-2005, 10:05 AM

MP2 had been a maniac from the start, going (and calling) all-in with draws and overcards. Anyone play sheriff here?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) converter

MP1 (t1273)
MP2 (t972)
MP3 (t760)
Hero (t450)
Button (t1485)
SB (t585)
BB (t720)
UTG (t660)
UTG+1 (t1095)

Preflop: Hero is CO with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
3 folds, MP2 calls t30, 1 fold, Hero calls t30, Button calls t30, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t150) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (5 players)
SB checks, BB checks, MP2 raises t942 (All-in), Hero ???

Given your stack, sure.
I'm only afraid of 89.

I think you call here. If you had a buy in stack then fold and wait.

I think you have to call. Against whatever range of hands you'd consider, I'm sure you're nearly a 2:1 favorite. Unless you think this guy could limp with JJ+, he might have a power hand like K2 here.
