Default Re: Top two whit lot of action

Its a live game so I say call. Online I might consider folding top two given the action.

If I knew mp well and knew him to a rock I would fold. But otherwise like I said, live games tend to be looser and top two is a pretty big hand.

I wouldnt be surprised to see a set of threes turned over, but there could be a lot of other hands he's playing this aggressively. You also have some outs against the threes.
You also have a fair amount your stack in.

Without a strong read, I would say folding is a mistake here.

After about 2 min of thinking it trought, I mucked and said: "Nice set of three's".

He looked surprised, toke is card and turn then face up...

He had 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I'm happy whit the fold but I got in trouble whit a hand I propably should have folded preflop in the spot I was in (1st caller of the raise whit 3 players plus the blinds to speek, I was 3 off the buton, not 2 like I said in my original post, my bad.) You guys fold K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] here preflop?

Also, a friend of mine argued that a smaller raise would have accomplished the same thing on the flop, say making it 120$ or 125$ would have saved me a little here when behind and got me the pot anyway when ahead.

I think his only possible hands here are 33 or a huge draw, probably J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. From there it comes down to your read.

This, FWIW, is why you should always pay attention to your opponents outside your hands. Watching the way he does what he does will give you clues as to the strength of his hand.

Very simple math, you're either way behind, or he's drawing big. I put that basically as you losing three times out of four (lose when you're behind, he wins half when you're ahead). I have to have a VERY strong read he's on a draw to make that call.

I also liked the raise to $150. A min raise would have been weak.
