    Default Call or Fold?

    Absolute Poker
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
    6 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    Hero: $18.80
    UTG+1: $46.45
    CO: $38.96
    Button: $51.40
    SB: $55.05
    BB: $5.90

    Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG with
    Hero calls, 2 folds, Button calls, SB raises to $0.9, BB folds, Hero calls, Button calls.

    Flop: ($2.95, 3 players)
    SB bets $1.5, Hero raises to $4.5, Button raises all-in $50.4, SB folds,

    HERO??

    I didnt have much of a read on either of these players, both seemed competent players niether had made any plays out of the ordinary in the 15-20 hands I had been at the table.

    I dont like my limp with AK, I though about pushing over SBs raise to represent aces and take the pot there. Definatly should have re-raised some amount tho b/c now I dont know where I'm at on the flop...

    The reraise idea is good, but what would've happened after the flop if he called?
    Probably you'd fold then to any bet?

    I dont think he would limp in with KK. maybe he got KQ or KJ and just dont want to let you draw ?

    He could be on the nuts draw and just trying to take it down now...could have a small K and trying to take it down. I just see you as having the best hand and he's just trying to take it down.

    He probably figures that because he's got you so outchipped that he can just push you around and you won't risk going broke to a big stack.

    Push.

    I would not put him on KJ in this situation...but KQ is a possibility. However, I would also think he would raise KQ before the flop in this situation...unless he thought you were limping w/ AA (but then why play KQ at all). I would also think that he would raise AK from the button...so I don't see that as a likely hand. I definately don't put him on KK or QQ....but 44 is a good possibility. In this case, even K4 or Q4 is possible. I'd want to know just how lose this character is before I put him on a hand. BUT, I do believe he has better than TPTK...so I fold. If I had to put him on a hand I would say 44 or KQ, with 44 the more likely.

    this is six max right? Just close you eyes and start running your mouse across the screen clicking buttons.

    Your pre-flop play sucks.

    Hands like these are why I buy in for 24BBs.

    What the hell is with the limp/call PF?

    Only reason to do this if you know theres a maniac going to raise later. And if so... why are you worried about the flop call?

    Fifty fifty you are looking at a split pot or a big set. Fold.

    You guys really think he's that strong? Why would he be pushing when he's got so much more $$ than Fisho? Wouldn't he be trying to bleed the chips out if he had a set?

    I find myself doing moves like this when I'm the big stack with TPDecentK or mid-pair with some drawing outs.

    Yeah I think he is doing it with a big hand. Notice he Bet his max, not Fishes. This tells me he is trying to get value out of the hand, not applying pressure to fold. If he was trying to pressure Fish into folding, he would have probably only bet $15-20 (just a little more than what fish has left).

    What hands Raise PF into limpers, bet the flop, then Push to the reraise. Drawing hands call the raise, made hands push. I'm thinking at best we're chopping.
