I fold to his push every time. I can't believe so many people are calling.

Why did you raise the flop? I fold to his push every time. I can't believe so many people are calling. I knew Party games ruled, but....

i knew the flop raise was bad the second i made it...the limit part of me did it. its a clear call b/c if i raise i just priced myself out of the hand a good portion of the time...whereas in limit that hand is worth a cap w/ 2 players there.

plus james isn't exactly what id call passive.

pretty simple and clear fold.
when the best case scenario is that you are a slight underdog (an unlikely TT), and at worse case you are significantly buried: Ah 6h...you fold.

you are 43-57 against a hand like 62 top and bottom, and 33-67 against 22 bottom set.

now what hands is he bet-3betting all in huge on this flop?

his range has you crushed. fold all day and then feel bad for raising the flop.

Not quite, best case is he is favourite, against:

43 no heart he has 53% equity

A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] he has 35.2%

66 no heart he has 40.3%

He needs about 46% equity to call

If dcfer can take hearts out of his hand range then he can call. After all, doesn't this look a lot like and overbet with 'the nuts'? How else would he play 34o?

then again the 2 would probably not have been X-ed out in the OP if this were the case

I don't think it's a coinflip - best case scenario he's probably also on a draw but his is bigger - KhTh, QhJh, etc. I've also seen bottom sets played this way, and black 45o. The only card that's a clear winner is a 7, and if he does have a set/two pair combo then he still has redraws. Bad spot and too deep stacked to gamble. Easy fold.

[/ QUOTE ]

Since I voted fold there doesn't seem to be much else to say. This is not a coin flip. I can't find a single post that has a sound reason for calling.

The flop raise does not look like a rational play.
