Home game, table is 6 handed, blinds at 5/10, I have about $875 in front of me.

I am dealt 5 icon_suit_spade.gif 4 icon_suit_spade.gif in the BB
2 players limp, and Sb calls. I check.
pot= $40

Flop: T:diamond: 6 icon_suit_spade.gif 3:spade:
SB leads for 25, and I raise 100 more. Limpers fold, and SB goes all in for about 350 more.

I have played with SB many times and I know he is very tight and pretty passive, so I'm about 97% sure he has a set, most likely 33 because of preflop play.

What's the call here?

edit: fixed mistake in suits, added stack sizes
goosh
how much $$ does the sb have?

Well, by my calculations, you have 15 outs, which actually makes you the favourite in this hand...you about 60-40, so i think im making the call. Especially since you will still have roughly 400 left if you dont hit, with blinds at 5/10, you would still, well and truely be in it, so in my mind its a pretty easy call.

Tourney section....and I don't think I'd ever fold an open ended straight flush.

You gotta call. You created the odds to do it =)

Where does it say this is a tournament? Looks like a cash game to me.

I'd call in a heartbeat. At worst you are up against a set here.
You are a bit better than a 40 - 60 dog versus a set of tens. 8)

I call. Still have plenty of chips with these blinds and are probably a slight favorite here. If its for all of my chips I may change my mind but I think you have to go with the odds here

Gotta call here.

IMO you should just call here on the flop until you actually hit something in early tourney.


But since you did raise, you now have odds to call! Hooray!

This a tournament style game, blinds started at 2/4 and this is the second level.
I wasn't entirely sure at the time if I was favorite (I considered it aout 50-50) but I pretty much agreed with you guys and I called. Of course, I lost, but now I'm pretty certain i made the right choice. THanks

Because I don't know many home cash games with 5/10 blinds.
