one pair, insanely huge pot

[soah]

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (6 max, 6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

SB ($500.40)
Hero ($470.40)
UTG ($143)
MP ($527.30)
CO ($371.20)
Button ($406.20)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $2.

UTG, MP, CO, SB limp, I raise to $30, UTG, MP, CO call.

Flop: ($124) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (4 players)

I bet $100, UTG goes all-in for $113, MP reraises to $225, CO calls. Action on me.

UTG is terrible and MP seems somewhat LAG. Not much read on CO.

Just an orbit or two again UTG had posted UTG, everyone folded to me, I raised to $20, he called, he called $30 on a rag flop and folded to $100 all-in on the the turn (a king).

i wasn't worried until i saw "CO Calls". I think he's got a monster and trying to take everyone along for a ride, also try not to build the pot OOP.

He is in position and pot-comitted.

I couldn't figure out why he would not push there if he felt he had the best hand. Nearly half the deck is a huge action killer on the turn.

because he sucks at poker is a possibility

I like your line, and fold

I'd fold.

The way everyone is swinging at this pot there are plenty of bad cards that will beat you even if you do have the best hand.

However, that being said the way everyone played this hand you might have those other two guys beat. But that weird raise scares me. Why wouldn't he just shove it in? I'm way more afraid of that guy than the cold caller who most likely doesn't have a set. The pot is way too big to cold call with any type of big hand on that flop.

At least you know all of the players in that hand (other than you) are horrible players and you can most likely wait for a better spot.

Ouch. I would fold here given that you still get a ton of info, and that given PF action it's relatively unlikely that a TAG player has TT/JJ, although it is a possible holding for CO . That said, I think even if you do call you're going to be up against a power draw or set somewhere in there.

after CO cold calls, I think you got to lay it down.

Why is everyone so afraid of CO? I think MP scares the [censored] out of me. LAG means he's raising TT/JJ PF almost always, and his raise AFTER AN ALL IN means he's not just running a [censored] semibluff.

I think we are just going with the (it takes more to call than it tkes to raise) and cold calls after such a scary action is scarier.

Yeah, but most people don't know how to play poker. I've seen players I thought were decent call raises OOP with K5o. People will call with any crap if they think it might be the best hand.
