SB came over the top with a check/raise all-in.I had one out to the nut straight flush if SB had made a higher flush - would you have called the all-in? Link to post Share on other sites
Vade 0 Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 NoIt's way to early to call with the 320th nutsThe fact that all the money is in on the flop indicates a made flush 90% of the time and the Ace of diamonds the other 10% Link to post Share on other sites
strategy 4 Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 It's pretty close, I'd say. You had 300 in on the flop and only 1000 left. Plus you've got the flush.If I were playing it, I would probably muck and go on, but that's a personal preference against lesser opponents. If I were the small blind in this spot, I could see myself check-raising all in with top pair and the nut flush draw. How much is this tournament for? Link to post Share on other sites
looshle 6 Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Fold. Someone checked then went all in over the top of a bet and a raise. You're drawing to an out. Link to post Share on other sites
Swift_Psycho 1 Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Fold. Someone checked then went all in over the top of a bet and a raise. You're drawing to an out.Agreed, if you're lucky you might be up against just the :diamondsa: . And that's your best case scenario. Link to post Share on other sites

Absolute 0 Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 I don't like to play 76s UTG in a MTT unless I have a commanding chip leads and very good reads on the table.This is a hand that's only dangerous in large multiway pots. I fold it PF. But I can understand limping with it too.But anyway, you have to lay this down without a very good read on the player.There is the chance he flopped a set or has the Ad though, but you can't make a call here with a blind read.

TJ_Eckleburg 0 Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 This is exactly why I don't like suited connectors. It just puts you in too many second-place situations. They're a cash game hand, where you can put a little money in preflop when you know you're behind but getting a little implied. Plus you were UTG+1??? Even in a cash game I think it's a leak to limp (with the intention of calling later preflop raises) too early with cutesy hands like 76s. Just my opinion though... Link to post Share on other sites

Petoria 0 Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Early in tournaments, be very strict in your hand selection. Don't play many hands worse than JJ or TT.In the hand you mentioned, you're almost definitely beat. For a $50 buy in, I don't want to risk it on a baby flush. Link to post Share on other sites
