    getting my swell on

    Default question from donkeytest.com

    Here is an interesting hand from donkeytest.com. I am curious to see what people do here, because I am finding myself in these situations recently. BTW, if you haven't taken donkeytest, I recommend you do. It is fun and takes about half an hour or less and is free.


    11. 5/10 NL cash game. 9 handed. Everyone has about $1,200. UTG raises to $50 and gets two calls from solid, tight-aggressive players.

    You are in the BB with: Kh Kc


    You re-raise to $250 and get three callers.

    Flop is:
    Qd 8c 3h

    You bet $300 on the flop. UTG player calls and a middle position player moves all-in for $750 more. What should you do?

    Call all-in
    Fold

    call, your odds are way too good even though you are behind like 80% of the time. Lyric probably thinks people will be like "well he has a set i fold."

    I mean even if you know he has 88 and 33 everytime, you still have 10% equity.

    It's pretty close since UTG could be slowplaying and MP has a set a good amount. It's not clear cut, i wish there could be some equity calculation because i'm really unsure. I think one of the problems with this question is there are no reads on UTG.

    I'm actually going to say fold even with the very good pot odds.

    Despite what i just said, i want to make sure you know that situations like this don't matter that much. It's marginal, so you're only going to make a little or lose a little in EV by calling. You shouldn't worry about situations like this affecting your winrate.

    idk considering no one has a King besides us our pot odds are looking even better.
