its very likely he has AA, KK, or AK, so I fold

No, look closer. He raised the minimum preflop.Bet $4 into a pot of 1.50

No, look closer.He raised the minimum preflop.Bet $4 into a pot of 1.50How would that make it any less likely you're beat here?Why would you even pnder calling in a pot this small. NL is about winning big pots when you have a massive edge, not fighting for tiny pots when it's unlikely that you're ahead.Easy fold.

[the_stein]

he has qq doesn't he

Why did you cold call a raise from EP with KJo? I assume I forgot to muck my cards preflop, so I make up for that by doing it now. Is next part "you call turn card is a 2 and he goes all-in"? Good example of why you don't play this trash in the first place.

Why did you cold call a raise from EP with KJo? I assume I forgot to muck my cards preflop, so I make up for that by doing it now.Hi, it's a min raise in NL.The call is fine. Folding this pre-flop is beyond silly.

[sloshr]

KJ is not a good hand. It is an even worse hand in EP. Much worse when someone is showing strength. Too many ways to be dominated here. The min raise UTG probably means the raiser is a bad player that doesnt know how to protect a hand, not a lack of strength. Are you calling this to flop 2 pair? Implied odds are not there for that.Smash, normally I agree with you, bet not here. Unless by "beyond silly" you mean a good play. I save my money for the next hand, no expense here.

[Smasharoo]

Implied odds are not there for thatWhy would you be plaiyng to flop two pair?Getting 35 to 1 implied odds, I'm obviously calling here. Everyone should be calling here unless they're just terrible post flop and use pre-flop tightness as a crutch to compensate for poor post flop play costing them money....Not saying that's you, just saying that most people who don't understand NL is a game that's playe *much* more losely pre-flop than limit when played well are missing some fundemental concepts of the game.

Thank you... I really didn't even want to bother arguing the preflop call. It's a min raise... I will call almost anything to that in NL. Who cares what it is, if I hit the flop right, I will bust people.As for the results...

[Suited_Up]

I don't feel like searching for the HH, so I'll just tell you what happened.Here's my thinking. He raised the min preflop... Doesn't scream monster to me... so I don't believe he has AK, plus.... even more so... He bet over 2x the pot. Someone with AK just wouldn't do that... same if they have an overpair or a set for sure. People just don't do that. I was pretty sure he either had 2 spades or nothing, and wanted to buy this pot right now.After his $4 bet, he had 8 left... So I came over the top and put him all in. I was actually expecting him to fold. He called, and turned over AQspades.... No more spades came and I won a big pot.I'm sure everyone will tell me I made a bad move and should have folded, which is fine, you can have your opinion, but if you don't think that bet was strange, then you're crazy. I took a chance on this one and it worked out. So say what you will.

[Markmadness]

well now i know the answer and i thought he was on a spade draw was not sure of the the exact hand but i notice alot of people over bet pots when they have a flush draw. But he was all in with this hand regardless.

I notice the same thing. And I know it sounds crazy, but AQ spades is honestly the hand I first thought of. I didn't make the decision based on that as much as the overbet, but I really thought flush draw.

I'm sure everyone will tell me I made a bad move and should have foldedThis is correct.Mainly because you did and got lucky.Don't confuse that with it being the right play.

I'm not saying it will always be right... but I really thought this time it was. If you're talking from a math, theory standpoint, it may be wrong. But if you're playing the player, it was right this time to me.

lmao

[JETMECMAN]

He nailed the A, 5 and over bet fold in order to get it back later.
