What do you do with 55 here?

[CarlSpackler]

Villain seemed to be a pretty solid player. What’s your play here? I don’t like pushing here at level 3. I think reraising is completely out of the question due to my stack size. If I call I’m out of position, and am going to be facing overcards. Do I try a stopngo here? Or do you just decide not to invest another 7% of your stack and fold?

this seems like an easy limp; or a fold if raised.

huh?

hero's in the bb facing a miniraise...

i think i call here more often than i honestly should. this is one of those spots where i try to figure out what curtains would do, because i play a little too loosey at 25/50 i think, especially out of the blinds.

it's very possible call is perfectly acceptable.
if villain has been solid though, pushing seems attrocious.

argh, how can you agree with that? it doesn't make any sense! or, like i said in the other thread, am i just totally out of it?

there's no one behind him to raise, and he can't limp because it's been raised to him. he's in the bb.

edit: this is an easy call simply to hit a set in BB. Clearly I can't read position unless its teamfu

If I'm out of line, let me know... you need to hit a set or this hand has close to 0 showdown value. Calling a raise of 100 becomes 12.5% of hero's stack for no reason.

hero's already got 50 in the pot, and is facing a raise to 100, so 50 more.

You say "presto!"

works every time.

[RobGW]

Right. So calling another $50 hero would need to win $400 to breakeven. There is already $175 in the pot so hero needs to win another $225 to breakeven. Hero also has to consider whether having $645 all the time is better than having $595 7/8 of the time and whatever he will win on average(lets say $1100) 1/8 times. I don't know what is correct but I would call here most of the time.

[MegaBet]

I knew what he meant. Call the 50 and see what the flop brings.
