blakheart
villian has been very laggy, running over the table. I have seen him raise very light. I think he may raise with anything here (including as weak as 2 4)

This is almost more of a tourney question. About 90 players left, top 20 pay.

As played, easy fold to his raise.

This is one of those situations where I prefer to cc oop - with no low there yet you can't really take any heat, so see if the low gets there and then try to chop up a naked low. Alternatively, if its bet on the flop, cc when the low hits on the turn and bet out if the board pairs on the end.

with so many people in this pot, you could feasibly be drawing about dead against another 2-3 and a better flush...i agree completely with chamonyx

well, after he raises you, it's HU, so it's the same as any other game--if you think you're ahead of his range, get it all in, otherwise fold, as his raise seems to be committing him.

it would take a super maniac to shovel a bluff over your bet in a pot with that many in, though, i think. but i've seen em, especially in plo8 tourneys.

but as cham said, i like c/cing oop in this sort of spot. there's really only six cards (board pairs) you don't like to see on the turn if you are indeed ahead here, so you're not risking much by keeping the pot small for info.

If you didn't have the 2nd biggest stack at your table and were positioned like one of the others (not the 4K guy), I'd say go for it. But I think you should fold in this spot and wait for better spots to chip up against these small stacks.
