Anyone see a problem with this? I just dont think i could do it. Then again, I dont play 10-20A $10-$20 game. You raise under-the-gun holding K-K. An early player, three middle players, and the big blind call. There is $125 in the pot and six players. The flop is: 9-4-4, giving you an overpair. The big blind checks. You bet, the next player calls, a middle player raises, the next two players fold, and the big blind reraises. What do you do?AnswerFold. With this many players taking a flop and two players raising and reraising with the open pair on board, it is likely that someone has trip fours or better. You are reduced to playing a two-outer. The pot may even get raised again. Continuing on is normally a serious mistake. (We admit the type of player who reraised has to be taken into account. An imaginative player who knows you might throw away an overpair could put a move on you here.)

I think it's a pretty clear fold unless the second raiser is maniac and even then it's close.Edit the answer out if you want better responses.

I think it all depends on the player. If you know he's loose, then he might have A4 and you should fold. If he's tight, then raise his ass!
Hey, I don't have all the answers in life. To be honest, I've failed as much as I've succeeded, but I love my wife, I love my life, and I wish you my kind of success.

in this situation folding is the right move. not only is there several players raising, but a caller as well, fours full or nines full isnt a great hand to be up against with cowboys
GO BIG OR GO HOME
