Ok, here's the thing. 22SHADOW seems fairly unremarkable. But LinGoLas is constantly betting his second-best type hands hard, in ridiculously predictable fashion. If it were heads-up, this would be a good situation for me. I was pretty sure I had him beat quite often here (my personal read was that he had the ace of hearts, possibly with 2 pair). If it were just me and him, I would definitely call.

But I'm in a squeeze situation. 22SHADOW could very well have me beat here, and I have to put in all those chips having no real idea as to what he has.

Your thoughts.

Push, if you are beat you are beat.

i cant imagine folding.

that being said you will often be left feeling like a retard in this spot when they show you the A K Q high flush and stack u drawing dead. happend to me today too.

just a cooler if u were beat imo.

ur likely way ahead of the donk, and I don't see why the other guy should affect it - he doesn't have much more than the donk and hasn't repd anything more than a pair or flush draw.

This is precisely what happened. I think I was being too results oriented in this hand. Thanks for the re-assurance everyone.

Here's how the hand ended. I just called figuring, if he's calling me here, I'm probably beat, so maybe I could save myself 10 bucks. Maybe that was actually my biggest mistake of the hand?

Don't ever fold a 2 card flush 100 deep I think.
