Yeah, I probably don't shovel there. I hate these minbuying morons, and chances are he has AAxx, cuz they sit there like nits and wait for that. I flat call and see the flop. --he'll still stack off anyways, even if you flopped a royal.

Depends on read really but you have a pretty strong hand for such a small pot. I'd just stick it in and gamble. Unless he has KK you're not in horrible shape.You can deffinatly fold here though. If he plays a lot of hands like this your gonna stack him anyways eventually.

Folding seems pretty weak. That's a solid multiway hand, and donkboy probably has AA27 or some garbage. We have a lot of flops we could hit to convince me to get the other $6 in.

Agree the majority of times at these stakes.

If I am running good or I just feel like gambling a little I will just put it in. It makes me feel all warm inside when I bust mini buyers. At least you have established an image with the guy that you can use to our benefit later if he does happen to double.

Here's a similar hand - it's very pretty preflop, but why stuff it in and risk a flop like we ended up seeing? Might as well wait, he'll be all in anyways.Full Tilt PokerPot Limit Omaha Ring gameBlinds: $0.10/$0.255 playersConverterStack sizes:Hero: $23.90CO: $25.85Button: $6.75SB: $22.90BB: $53.40Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is UTG with T :club: T :D J :) Q :DHero raises to $0.85, CO folds, Button raises to $2.9, 2 folds, Hero calls.Flop: 3 :) 8 :D 6 :D ($6.15, 2 players)Hero checks, Button is all-in $3.85, Hero folds.Uncalled bets: $3.85 returned to Button.Results:Final pot: $6.15
