Default I could eat a cow right now

2/4 NL, 9-handed, online

I have A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in the CO. I limp behind two limpers with $400 behind, button drops out, blinds come along.

Flop is: ($20)

T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

SB checks. BB ($300) leads out for $4. MP1 ($45) min-raises to $8. MP3 ($55) cold calls the min-raise.

Your action? (All players unknown, 1st orbit at the table)

WTF is with these dumb titles. Just because 1800 does it doesn't mean the rest of you have to jump on the bandwagon.

I just call here and play pokah.

That donktastic minraise to $8 may indicate a hand as strong as a set, so anything besides just calling would be a mistake.

When my opponents give me incredible odds to draw I usually take them. I would be much more inclined to raise if there was a bigger bet on the flop.

So no one here raises to say $35 or so?

no, for the reasons stated before and one more:

your semibluff is likely to have less equity (your opponents hold some of your outs) than normal given the action thus far. just play this one slow until you both hit an "out" which basically gives you their stack.

I think I just like calling. One of your opponents may well be on a lower heart draw meaning you will get paid off nice if it hits. At these puny stack sizes I don't know that pushing is going to get the small stacks to lay down a 10.

If the min-raising short stack is raising top pair with non-ace kicker, my hand is favored and the pot is offering a nice overlay if I can get him heads up all-in.

Most minraises do not represent top pair, non-ace kicker.

You're also getting supergood odds to draw.
