reads.. none really. Seems to be a pretty decent player, having reasons for the moves he makes.

Easy fold here? ANd i know i should have raised more pf... maybe that's why he called w/ something like KQ and hit a two pair.

I think his play is rediculous w/ anything less than AJ, because his all in doesn't give me a chance to raise if i had AJ, and i insta call w/ the nuts.

So i think the only hand he could have is a moronically played KQ, or AJ.


Comments?

Easy Fold. You only have top pair, There are a ton of hands that he could have that beat you. His bet was silly, but that doesn't mean you can call. If he is way out of line then he will go broke sooner or later. My guess is he has at least 2 pair.

I would fold here also

Your TPTK is not looking good on that flop and that bet. This could be a "Kill Phil" play where he's pushing with a straight draw and pair (KJ for example) but more likely, he has a better hand.

On the preflop raise, I usually bump it up at least 1BB for every limper, so 600 or 750 would have been my raise.

Heck, if you don't care about the tourney money, push in. But that's a nasty flop, all told. Str8 draws, he may have hit a set or two pair. Lots of hands that can beat you.

Lean towards fold, fer shure.

Unanimous Folds all around and I agree. It's too likely that he was holding KQ or AJ. If he had either of these hands, he certainly played them bad.

Hopefully your read was correct in that he was a decent player, and didnt run you out with KJ

Yeah, i mean, a year ago i would have insta called w/ AK, but now i think about it, and i think it's not too bad of a fold, i think folding is the better option here.

Say he has a two pair, KQ, then i have 10 outs, which isn't bad, but i'm not a fan of putting my stack in there as a dog.

I wouldn't rule out TT here.

Wouldn't rule out QJ or JT.

Still can't call, but this could very well be a big semi-bluff.

But yeah, I'll see a set and two pair do this a lot, quite content to take the pot there, rather than see the fourth straight card hit the board and not know what to do.

let's just say coolers aren't fun... when you're on the receiving end.

too many hands beat you with that board, esp 2 pairs or set of 10s. I dont think an AJ would have called the preflop raise, although you could have raised a bit more also.
