say GH and walk away right?

Opponent overbets the pot on a two-suited, paired board, with one card higher than your high card...you've got no draw, obvious or backdoor...what part of this is interesting?

[jeffraider]

I may be high but how can this be anything but a fold?

[treeofwisdom7]

is there something were not getting , something you left out, or am i drunk and dont know it.

if you didnt have reason to push preflop you wouldnt have reason to push on the flop.

[curtains]

I don't think calling the flop is so terrible against the right kind of player.

Also if you think there is maybe a 20-25% chance they will fold to a raise preflop, then you should move allin preflop I think.

Because some players would check this flop with a king or a five. They also would have raised preflop with an ace or pair. Against these players, it becomes correct to call, especially since you have so few chips and the blinds are so high.

(btw you should probably push preflop, because believe it or not, there is a decent chance that you will end up folding the best hand with queen high on a lot of flops.)

Aight, so you're getting ~1.5-1 that he's bluffing, and have 0 FE. I don't see any viable play other than folding. Push the next hand, steal some blinds.

Yeah and he might be bluffing a lot more than necessary to make the call correct. There are some players that you can pigeonhole well enough to know they can't have an ace/king or five here, or at least know that the chances are good enough to make it worth calling.

Again I would push preflop, because I don't want to be given the chance to fold the best hand postflop.

[DasLeben]

Eh, I might try to take this down preflop. In fact, with these blinds, I do that just about every time. I dunno, I could be wrong.
