Default 22: We got a bleeder!

In a not-so-successful effort to stop hemorrhaging chips, I've been completing a lot from the SB. Which presents problems like this. So, 1.) Do you complete? 2.) What do you do on the flop?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (8 handed) converter

UTG+1 (t430)
MP1 (t615)
MP2 (t930)
CO (t1130)
Button (t815)
Hero (t750)
BB (t710)
UTG (t2620)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
UTG calls t50, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, CO calls t50, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t200) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets t50</font>, UTG calls t50, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to t250</font>, Hero ?

I complete preflop.

With less chips I'd just push the flop but with 750 I like a cr-allin.

Maybe you should have the intention of check/raising all in, but the way it played out, I like a flat call. I'm pretty sure you're not going to get CO to fold. And since you're probably gonna have to showdown anyways, I would try to lure BB or UTG to call the flop as well.

I was going to say 'obvious c/r all in' but I like the way you think [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Splashpot,

With less chips do you play on folding (the turn) if you miss?

No, I'd see it through to the end. The pot odds would be way too good.

I don't remember the 22s at all.

What hands do you want to call 250 that will fold to your push?


I'm thinking that maybe the times CO folds makes up for the times that BB or utg would have called the 250 but fold to the push.

Not sure. You could be right about that.

I think if the others were going to call 250, they'd call a push (particuarly utg+1). What a call does do is perhaps create FE on the turn for a push. He won't be letting go of a set, but there's a chance he could fold a jack, especially if he doesn't have AJ and an ace comes.

I agree, but c-r all in is probably fine too. Really I don't think it overly matters, just folding would be quite ridiculous if you are to play this hand preflop, as it's the perfect flop for it. I would sometimes complete this pf, but usually fold, with only 2 limpers.
