If you lose this hand you certainly will be dead, if you win it, your odds of cashing don't increase all that much.

Cmon dude, forget how often you cash or not, your equity goes waaaaaaaaaay up if you call and win the hand.


I call here. The guy called your raise, how many hands could he have that contain a ten? On the other hand he's a zillion hands he could have to make this play that don't contain a ten. I just think folding is too paranoid especially since only 2 players saw the flop, this is the 55 level after all and my guess is that villain has a ten less than 25% of the time.

I would call, you have the A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], most people don't play a ten that fast (smaller checkraise, check call check raise turn etc.)

While I think I also might call (it's quite close IMO), I think the A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] makes a better case for folding than it does calling, because it eliminates a significant portion of the villain's semi-bluffing hands.

Yea. But only very slightly. And for those semi-bluffing hands that are still there, this gives you a re-draw. I think I'd call too, but I just started playing the $55s. I definately call in the $33s and lower. But I think having the A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] helps more than it hurts.
