I was sitting trying to figure out if I should push all-in here since I thought the guy minraising almost had to call, and assuming he's any good, he shouldn't be making this raise without a big pair anyways (look at the size of his stack, he's committing himself to the hand and also making it easy to get called).

I thought for a while and my hand ended up timing out. Look at the flop.

Anyways, do you gamble here when you're at best 50/50, but probably dominated?

Its not a bad fold. Depending on how loose IrishPride is with his preflop raises (and how often bettechubby calls preflop raises) I might have considered pushing here as a squeeze play, you will pick up the pot right there unless one of them has a strong hand.

[dsaxton]

I don't see how Irish could possibly fold anything but garbage. He had only 700 chips left with a 150 chip big blind.

[arkana]

Sorry I missed his stack size. Still with your stack and the current blinds I wouldn't mind a coinflip, especially not with the extra money bettech put into the pot. So it depends on what hands you put original raiser and the caller on and whether or not you can get it heads up.

good fold

You either lay it down or push. I can't blame the laydown as Irishpride was going to be pot commited and at best you were at a coinflip, add that if someone else calls (They would be getting decent pot odds) you are not favored to win the hand against 4 overcards..

G000T LAYDOWN. But ye I'd be pissed too if I folded quads, I ALWAYS second guess as to why I would fold my low PP when it hits a set or quads.

NEVER fold a pocket pair when you're going to flop quads.

Cardinal rule of being a rounder.
