I don't understand what happened. The converter is screwy. Who bet $7?

But the button is dumb.

[istewart]

Damn the converter. Hopefully it makes sense now.

Someone raised all in for $8, I called with 87s.

I was calling $7 to win I think $12, closing the action, Stewie says my SC wasn't getting the right odds against the guy's range. Also isn't a big fan of my limp in EP, which is a fairer criticism.

Well this is an interesting question.

You would want him to have a PP below 7s. If he has two overcards there aren't enough pot odds to make it correct.

Interesting...I think I would go with the fold. Because even if he has one overcard you don't have the right odds.

The button is an idiot.

Bleh.

If you have the read to say the $7 push is out of frustration, poor play, or plain stupidity... I suppose. But with that little cash in the pot, I'd drop the SC hand and wait for something to finish off his stack with.

called a huge pre-flop raise with suited connectors...

you can come play with me any day [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Fold. Price is too high. Plus, I want more players and big stacks in there when I play SCs.

Button must've mis-clicked.

Want to bet?

I don't mind the limping with med suited connectors if the table is superpassive. And calling the minraise would have been fine.

I agree that you're not getting odds to call. The pot is $11.50 ... You're putting $7 to win $11.50 where you're you're a coinflip to only a pocket pairs 6 or lower or a hand like A-4. Any other legitimate holding the other guy has dominates your hand.

Let it go.

But I think everyone will agree. The button truly was the biggest idiot in this hand.
