Calling a raise with TTTJ

UnsungHero · #1 11-18-2005, 09:27 PM

UTG+2 raises, and everyone on the table and their brother calls. My odds were great, so .75 isn't a big deal.

I figured I was agains't the Ace high flush draw of UTG+2. On the turn however, is where the dilemma is. What is your action?

you are probably against Axh and a set, i'd pot it because they are likely to check behind and no need to give the flush a free card

I think it's unlikely that someone has a higher straight when the ten comes on the turn... they'd have to be drawing at a gutshot on the flop (nah- only if they had QJ as sidecards to a flush draw or something), where you made a reasonable bet... and even if they DO have the nut sraight, you have top set and a hell of a redraw against that... you've probably got plenty of equity, i am happy to pot it.

I think with the heart draw out, the 2nd nut straight and a full house redraw I gladly BTP.

When I read the subject to this, I was curious to know what your justification was for calling such a hand with. Calling $0.75 for a pot of ~$5.50 to hopefully flopping a str8 and really nothing else... I would have folded still. Think if this was a $5/$10 game it would have cost you a lot more than that.
