cwik 0 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I thought your question was going to be how do you get all his money in on the river. He did the hard part for you. If your beat here, thats the reason for bankroll management. Link to post Share on other sites

delasoul 0 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 I make the call here as well...6 handed. If you lose you blame the poker gods for giving you your key card. Not very many hands that beat you here anyways. KK I'm sure there would have been a re-raise pre-flop unless he is known to be tricky. Only other hand you can possibly lose too is 7's or AK. I agree that is why bankroll managment is key for hands like this. Link to post Share on other sites

Verdimme 0 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Oh, Jesus, Sklansky.. "I don't lose more than 130 big blinds with this set"Is this really so absurd for you?

We're ahead of so many aces though that we just can't fold this. What's scary though is his push - it reeks of a fullhouse that suspects we'll have trouble folding trip aces without a flush or straight out. Link to post Share on other sites

We still call but I would expect to win this hand just over 60% of the time. I very frequently just call raises with the stonecolds and then make the move on the next card.

I do agree that there is a point where you must fold this, but, I do not believe that it will arrise in most online cash game situations because of the capped buy-in.

Jordan 1 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 this is almost always a call.and whether or not your are paying him off in this individual circumstance shouldn't matter...i think you'll have the best hand here "most" of the time...- Jordan Link to post Share on other sites

Peak01 0 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Wow guys, everyone here says call but I really have a hard time with this no matter what the math says. We bet then raise his bet on the turn so he has to put us on at least an Ace. If I am in his shoes there is no way I am getting you off your Ace by pushing. This makes me feel he has a higher boat. I think we are looking at AK or A7 here more times than not. Maybe I am giving to much credit to people at those stakes. Something tells me I need to fold this though.

delasoul 0 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Well I think you have to look at long term odds wouldn't you? If this is a profitable call where you win 50 to 60% of the time then I don't see how this can be a fold.I don't know how aggressive 6 handed could be since I play at a full table. Would someone at these stakes cold call AK and not re-pop it before the flop. Also this is a button raise so from SB perspective he could have a variety of hands and would just be trying to buy the blinds. If he were to have a hand I'm more likely to believe A7.

To me this overbet is for value not a bluff. We showed to much strength for him to be bluffing here. I am curious about the results but I believe we ran into AK, A7 or 77.
