    UTG ($127.55)

    CO shows Kc 5c (one pair, fives).
    Fnord shows Ks Qs (high card, ace).
    Outcome: CO wins $55.75.


    Now onto the hand in question...

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 max, 5 handed) converter

    BB ($36.65)
    UTG ($21.20)
    MP ($164.10)
    Button ($49)
    Fnord ($31.40)

    Preflop: Fnord is SB with J, J.
    UTG folds, MP raises to $1, Button calls $1, Fnord raises to $3, BB calls $2.50, MP calls $2, Button calls $2.

    Flop: ($12) T, 3, 5 (4 players)
    Fnord bets $10, BB folds, MP calls $10, Button raises to $46 (All-In), Fnord ???

    MP is LAgg
    Button was CO in previous hand.

    LAgg would call pre-flop with just about any two cards. He would call the flop bet with as little as bottom pair.

    Call or Fold? Should I be more inclined or less inclined to fold because of LAgg's call?

    only thing that might beat you is a set of 3's or 5's, i am thinking the best hand out ther is a pair of tens, so you have them beat and i would call.

    That's a tough one. I've been trying to crack the six person tables ($50 NL) over the past two weekends. I may give it up. There is no logic to them at all. If you raise $4 preflop, people will still play 68s. And people constantly come over top of me with 2nd best pair or a low pocket pair.

    Hands like the one you posted are what kill me.. If I had read this 2 weeks ago, I would definitely say fold. However, I now know that the play is just unbelievably loose/agressive at these tables.

    I would put MP on two overcards, possibly suited. And I would put the button on a stone cold bluff. Given that the button or MP did not try to start a raising war preflop when they had the opportunity, I would probably call. Well actually I would probably fold, but I think the right play is to call. Thats a tough one..

    This depends on the chip stacks. Since you have $13 already invested, with only $18 left, I think you make the call.

    If you were the big chip stack and had to call the entire $46 raise, I think this is a fold.

    I've seen way too many idiots at Party go all-in with just top pair on the flop (yes, even something as mediocre as a pair of 9s), and this CO guy seems just the type to do it (calling your all-in on the previous hand with bottom pair?!).

    I would call.

    lol, how would you play it? $5 in the pot, $10 more of flop bets. Flush draw with 2 overs and enough stack to make a big scary bet. I'm not worried about being eliminated from a tourney. If I just call, the turn is very likely going to miss me. I don't see how this move isn't +EV.

    I told ya. CO went all-in with top pair and 9 kicker. HA!

    Gotta get used to the maniac bets at PP. Especially after his previous play, CO had "maniac" written on his forehead.

    With no draws out call,raise is a pretty scary pattern.

    ttanaka had it nailed, I was pretty much pot committed. Gotta love them party 50x BB stacks...

    Comparted to LAgg, the button was fairly sane, which threw me off I guess. Anyway I left the table with a $100 stack (mostly LAgg's money) and an overall profit. But throwing that one away made it a lot harder than it had to be...

    Going back to that other hand, I didn't mind your semi-bluff with the flush draw and 2 overcards to the board. A little risky without having the Ace flush draw, but not a terrible play at all. You're hoping to win it right there with the raise, and you've got outs if they call (you don't know how many outs, depends on what the others are holding). Hard to believe what they called your all-in with on that hand. Crazy stuff.

    I'd have called in the 2nd example based on your opponents previous play. I'd put them both on a pair of tens. I'd have been right, I guess.
