mASSIVE OVERBET

[greywolf]

1/2€ NL holdem at 24hpoker flop comes down 457 all in clubs and i flopp top set 777 theres 20 in the pot after my preflop raise and we were three to see the flop with me on the virtual button. Player 1 checks and Player two immedieately push for 400, a cute little overbet.
Whats your move? i folded but dont think that was the best thing to do. he could very well have the lone ace of clubs,

There is 20 in the pot and he bets 400?

Initially I think...."You only have a few bucks invested...unless you have a read that tells you otherwise, fold."

But then I think...

Reasonalbe hands that he may have are:

(1) a smaller set
(2) a small flush
(3) lone ace clubs
(4) overpair
(5)68o/68s is unlikely (is it--whats your read?)
(6) a bluff

Against the 4 most likely holdings you are ahead of 3 of them and not much of a dog to the other (small flush) to fill/quad up.

Against all 6 possibilities you are ahead of 4 out of 6 and have lots of outs.

If you KNEW he had the small flush, youd be getting essentially 1.05-1 on your money -- and youd have to fold.

But you really dont know that is what he has. So I would call. Did you have hime covered?

Aces with a club most likely or small flush. I like to fold here, you basically only have 7 outs and there is not much money invested already. If led out for a good amount and both pushed you probably have the pot odds to call the all ins, here you do not.
