Standard Play?

prk · #1 08-17-2005, 02:11 PM

Middle of level 2 of a 20+2 on Party. Blinds 100/200. Avg. stack is around 4,000. Hero starts the hand with 4,235 on the button. UTG calls the 200 with only 1650 left after the call. Folded to LP1 who limps with 1800 behind.

Hero is dealt A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Hero raises to 700. UTG pushes, LP1 follows.

What is Hero's action here?? Standard fold or call for an additional ~1,000 chips?

LP1 is a joke. UTG could have a hand, but you aren't folding getting 5:1, unless you're 2000% sure he has AA.

I made this raise just after I went on a run to get my stack up to 4300. I read both these players as limping with big hands to try and catch me trying to play my rush.

thats unlikely...more often than not the 2nd limper has something like 77. again, i might be worried about utg, but even if he has KK you should probably call. factor in other hands like JJ/TT and its pretty easy.

Yeah, hour 2. Sorry.

I called and UTG had AQoff and LP! had K3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. UTG and I split the pot.

told you LP is a joke :P good call.

dmk..it's hands like these that have boosted my cashing rate in MTT's. A few months ago i would have folded this hand without even thinking about calling.

Thanks for your replies!
