Early in a $10, I usually interpret the min-raise to be: "I have the nuts or close to it, but want to get more money...so I'll just minraise it." I don't think you'll see A8o here enough to call.

I fold here, fearing straight/flush/set.

Why would you even play 68s this early in the tournament?
I can understand maybe later after you have a comfortable stack... but this early in the tournament it seems silly unless your table is really tight.

i think you can call here then fold on the turn if you dont improve.

Hero pushes.

villain called from the SB. Could easily be PP with a spade. Overs with a spade.

in the 1/20 chance villain has the flush hero still has outs to the nuts.

Combine this with the fact that hero shouldn't have a hand here, its an easy push.

I think i fold here, its too early in the tourney. I don't think you have the odds to call and then wait to imporve on the turn.

TomHimself · #8 08-11-2005, 12:12 AM

i wouldnt call this a easy push by any meqns, i think you have to call here and then face a tough decision on turn

[/ QUOTE ]hes getting 4 to 1 pot odds and will get it allin if he fills up on turn. i think if the turn blanks your gonna be pushing anyway though

He's getting 4-1 on a 11-1 shot and dosen't have the implied odds on the turn.
