    Default Call all-in with two pair?

    Decided to play on BoDog recently. Ugh, iffy decision. All players seem to be pretty horrible. .5/.10, Villian in hand is pretty spewy and all players seem to be play any two. My image is semi tight, only showing down big hands.


    6max - 5 handed

    SB: xxx
    BB: 4.25
    EP: xxx
    MP: xxx
    BTN (Hero): 14.41

    dealt: A4o


    2 folds, hero raises to .35, fold, BB calls.


    Flop: A 3 9 rainbow


    check, hero bets .65, call


    Turn: 4h (two hearts)


    villain shoves, hero.....?

    I mean what is villains range here? Pretty loose in my opinion, maybe a set or A + gk, or air.

    The only Ax with a better kicker he can have is A9. Snap call.

    Yeah, I just didn't want to be results oriented. It was a big cooler when villain flipped over 2 5s. Gross, but a lot of people actually chase gut-shots and get there. I mean I don't know if it's a bad call because they usually shove with a very unlikely hand when they hit it. (I'm not referring to this hand, I really didn't know where I was when he shoved. ) But it's hard to tell when people are chasing the the gutshot. I guess I was just wondering if there is anyway to get away from it when you both hit.

    triple-t's theorem of micro-stakes NL Holdem

    If there's a draw on the board, and it hits, someone was chasing it.

    if stacks were closer it would be an overshove so it might be different but i'd still struggle to fold given he can really have any ace, and any hearts too

    if villian is that loose and spewy his range is

    Ax, any two pair, any set, a picked up flush draw after a bad flop float, any straight draw, some crazy bluff etc.

    The ONLY time i can see folding instead of calling is you have good indication that he only bets with the nutz ei two pair or better.

    make a note that the villian likes to overbet shove w/ the nutz and never pay him off again.

    Snap call. Not even close.
    Lots of good rakeback options at http://www.rakeguard.com/?raf=KRE8R

    KRE8R probably has about seventy college funds in his NL5 roll.
