Default Is this a call?

Pokerroom 22

Seat 2: ($2,720 in chips)
Seat 3: ($1,780 in chips)
Seat 4: ($3,255 in chips)
Seat 5: ($1,635 in chips)
Seat 6: ($1,790 in chips)
Seat 7: ($2,735 in chips)
Seat 8: Hero [KD,9C] ($1,085 in chips)



ANTES/BLINDS
Seat 7 posts blind ($25), Hero posts blind ($50).

PRE-FLOP
Seat 2 bets $150, Seat 3 calls $150, 3 folds, Seat 7 calls $125, Hero folds.


Pot's 500, it's 100 for me to call. Great odds, but what am I hoping for? Flop a 9 and worry about overcards? Flop a K and worry about someone with a better kicker? Do you call just in case it's that one time the flop's a miracle?

No. This is an easy fold, you don't flop trips/two pair anywhere near enough to compensate for all the times you're dominated etc.

OK, that's what I thought. Just one of those hands that would have paid off really fantastically if I'd been foolish enough to play it. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]



FLOP [board cards QH,JC,10D ]
Seat 7 checks, Seat 2 checks, Seat 3 bets $1,630 and is all-in, Seat 7 folds, Seat 2 calls $1,630.

TURN [board cards QH,JC,10D,8S ]


RIVER [board cards QH,JC,10D,8S,5C ]


SHOWDOWN
Seat 3 shows [ QS,KH ]
Seat 2 shows [ KS,JS ]
Seat 3 wins $3,760.

Don't be results-oriented. It will kill you in the long run.

Even if the flop brought 777 one time, you still should fold your 72o UTG 100% of the time.

This would still be a scary flop for you since the original raise could have meant AK and you could be drawing dead. Fold it and look for a better spot.
