    Default Should i have folded preflop to a raise.

    Should i have layed this down preflop when i got reraised by Damon09. I have no clue if he is aggressive or loose, etc. I just got to the table.
    I think i was right about folding post flop but maybe i should have folded PRE?
    This by the way is about 45 minutes in the tourney with about 100 remaining.
    By the way, i am THE HERO.

    AHEM!

    In answer to your question, I shove PF. Fairly sure that's the right play. You are now at 7BB because you got out-played after the flop.

    Check your math buddy...

    I dont have a problem with folding here pre flop. You have 35 bbs if you fold. No way I'm shoving this deep without a read. A reraise like that from a sb in general means they don't want to take a flop out of position, eg Ax or small pair.

    As played you obviously have to fold to that ace. Pretty standard all around I think.

    Haha, whoops. I thought BB's were 150, I don't know why. Time for sleep now.

    Yeah, that much, folding pre-flop is a good idea.

    This is UB, the re raiser has just hit bet pot if my maths is correct. Most players raise that amount with any raising hand when there is a bet pot function. I agree it is far too early to shove. I call to take a flop in position and get my chips in on any flop without A or K.

    Unknowns in low stakes donkaments are generally very tight about 3betting, I think you can lay this down to the reraise and not lose any sleep over it.
