Easy fold. And a good example of how sometimes being first to act can be the better position.

He called your preflop raise. He put the pressure on you with a scary flop. He could be bluffing, but he could easily have a T or a K which would make you basically drawing dead to a Q. Plus he has your stack covered.

I certainly don't play the $215's nor do I multi-table them! BUT, to me it looks like he's got AT and is hoping you had AK, KQ or will push with any pair.. I'm smelling trap. He could be using his position to pressure you but I don't see him risking about 1/4 his stack to win about t250...

Any reads?

Where I play, a bet like this is trying to 'tell' me that he has a K. Maybe not a great K, but a K none the less.

Note the pot is 325 not 250.

I would fold but I think you are folding the best hand here very often. I would fold becuase of my stack size though.

You missed my point. My line of thinking was either:

A) He had you beat based on the flop - either a K ot T
B) He's bluffing and planned on this move even before calling the raise pre-flop.. meaning he was risking about 1/4 of his stack to win t225 (~250) in chips that we already out there.

Effectively though, you're right. It comes down to stack size as to why you lay it down.

This was exactly what i thought, so the real question might be: will he fold his weak K if i go allin?

Can't this question be answered with math? If I had to make a guess at the answer, the results will be one where your expected stack will be close to or slightly less than your current stack.

I don't know how crafty players can be at your level, but I could only imagine hands like K9o+ calling, or maybe K5s+ calling. Anyway, if we give him any credit, then that narrows it down to just K9+.

Your current stack is very pretty.
