Who folds this overpair?
Who folds this overpair assuming no reads on villain? He pushed immediately after the flop.

Re: Who folds this overpair?
This is an instacall that isn't gambling. Also, anything beating QQ here is beating AA/KK as well unless you're worried that they've got AA/KK.
EDIT: You've got HasanHabib at your table dude! Just fold and save your chips for pushing his BB every time, he's folding a lot of hands! |

Re: Who folds this overpair?
The thing is, there are no legitimate hands out there that you beat except for JJ, and the slim AT or AKs/AQs of spades. Would the preflop raiser push against two players with something else you can beat?
EDIT: I pushed HasanHabib's blinds twice and got RR'd ALL-IN both times. |

Would he push something that beats you? If he has TT or AA or KK he'd presumably bet something for value or try to trap. If I had any of those hands and got all those calls I'd check the flop and hammer after I had made some more money. Here are some hands that I can see him playing like this: AK-A8 KQ-KT JJ, 99-77 This kind of play screams "I have a hand that MAY be good and I don't want to get pushed off of it/OH GOD PLEASE FOLD AND GIVE ME THE POT I MISSED THE FLOP!" You'll be shown hands that crush you here very rarely. EDIT: RE: HasanHabib, you don't make two $25K final tables without being wily! |

Re: Who folds this overpair?
I don't know how good this is in a $109, but there's no way I don't raise after only a single bet. 280 already in the pot, all of that is worth picking up. I shove preflop, and I think it's right.

Re: Who folds this overpair?
No reads but villain has increased his stack a lot already early on.
This is an easy call. The fact that the spades are there, and that stack sizes preclude a check raise, or moving you off any hand if you bet, makes a preemptive bet with a draw or a vulnerable made hand likely. Maybe he has a set, but the stacks are so shallow, checking a set is the better play IMO, or making a smaller bet. Open pushing here looks weak, gotta call. |

What I want to know is why you didn't push preflop.
