Swift_Psycho 1 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I fold to the pre-flop re-raise, but post-flop yes, I push. Link to post Share on other sites

This, plus fold equity will put you ahead most of the time.Good hand.We have very little fold equity here. We've only got $59 to throw on top of this pot. that doesn't make pushing wrong, but still we have no fold equity.I think pushing is fine, my only thought is whether the SB is gonig to come along if you flat call. If we're sure he will, I'd almost rather keep him in since I doubt we make BB fold here very often and the SB would be drawing dead and sticking more money in the pot. in which case, we get str8 pot odds for the turn and river.

I certainly could see your opponent folding 2% of the time (1 in 50). There is fold equity there for AK... albeit miniscule.We have very little fold equity here.

Calling here *may* be good, then jamming/calling the rest of your chips to anything but a board-pairing card on the turn. Somehow I don't think the initial bettor was even intending to call the $50 raise. Link to post Share on other sites

Jay-Dub 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Should you push, I think it's safe to assume s6 will fold. Worse case scenario is you're up against a set of K's, you're still only 2:1 dog. Up against AK you're 45%, KQ 40%, and AA your 45%. I believe pushing is the correct play here. I'm curious to know what happened. GL! Link to post Share on other sites

I'm curious to know what happened. GL!Why do you want S6 to fold? Since you are drawing to nut outs and have *nothing* right now, I agree with people that said calling is better if it entices S6 to call with a worse draw(10-J, lower flush). If he is on a lower flush draw, you lose outs, but you prefer him in the hand.I'd only push if you thought you had fold equity, but it doesn't seem like you do and you being inthe hand and having a better read on villain, thinks so to.If you prefer lower variance, you could fold since even with your draw I htink you are behind villains range, but I think you have sufficient pot odds to make calling a correct play too. You'd be forced to call any turn too. Although....you *may* consider folding if board pairs, but you are probably pot-commited and hsould call in case villain does not have a set. Reallt, this is one of the best possible flops you could hope for, so folding seems silly, since you called PF. Link to post Share on other sites
JacKingOff_suit 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Easy call but not a push.If you get there you will sure get paid because your short.You want more money in because your short and because your drawing. The more the callers the better your pot odds is. Edited: put it another way. You have zero fold equity. But by getting more players in you increase your pot equity. And if your draw doesn't get there, you might be able to save a few bucks although chance is slim because the raiser is likely to push you in on the turn. Link to post Share on other sites

Our chips are gonna be in on the turn anyway might as well try and beef up the pot as much as possible. Link to post Share on other sites
Jay-Dub 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Hmm... I'm starting to rethink my original opinion. I still think it'd be hard for s1 to call the $40, but I haven't been playing with him. Even if s1 doesn't call after you do, and s6 puts you in on the turn (assuming it was of no help) you'll still be getting 4:1 to call with one card left. Not bad. And if s1 does call, your pot odds will be even jucier. OK then. Next time I'll think before I speak Link to post Share on other sites

offset 0 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 ...I think I'm too short to think twice...(pf a little loose)You're call preflop is a lot worse than anything you can do on the flop. You say preflop is "a little loose," but knowing that and doing nothing about it saves you no money. Before you focus on flop decisions of what amounts to small variations of equity, concentrate on refining your preflop skills to the point where you know and implement the right decision on a consistent basis.

Naismith 0 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 If you're planning to be all in regardless, I say call and push the turn. If you lose your nerve and fold a blanked turn, push it all in now. Either way, tell us what happened! Link to post Share on other sites
