horrible call?

#1 10-08-2005, 01:27 AM

Is this just a horrible call or is it one i can actually make confidently in my game, if i put him on a hand that dominates mine like AA. Enough implied odds with third player in the pot?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 4 handed) converter

saw flop|saw showdown

Hero ($62.90)
SB ($66.40)
BB ($85.25)
UTG ($34.55)

Preflop: Hero is Button with 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.25.
UTG raises to $1, Hero raises to $3, 1 fold, BB calls $2.50, UTG raises to $10, Hero calls $7, BB calls $7.

No way in hell you have the implied odds to call this [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] If the three of you had 200.00, it would be worth calling to flop a set.

EDIT: I'm dumb, UTG has $34. You have to call $7 and you only stand to win his additional $24 if you flop a set. This is not good. You cannot make up the 7:1 odds you are taking against flopping a set. Without a strong read that UTG would do this with AK and other non-big pair hands, this is a fold.
