Am I ahead often enough to call?

[bigg_nate]

Blinds 15-30, I'm on the button with A Q. 2 limpers, I raise to 120, SB calls, rest fold.

Flop: 3 7 J. SB checks, I bet 200, SB calls.

Turn: 6. Check, check.

River: T. SB bets 300, I ???

That early on
I would probably fold that.

wat are the stack sizes.

I'm inclined to fold here. There are only two cards that beat you, but the smooth call on the flop worries me. I likely cut my losses and look for a better spot.

[ProZachNation]

Its only 300 to call and only two cards beat you I say go for it.

Depends the player. If thats a 5$ buy in and its a fishy agressive player, call.

If its 30$ buy in and hes a tricky shark, fold.

When you have tough decisions like that, it never hurts to look at the hand history to get information on that player. If he has done a big river bet a lot, he probably bluff. If you see he seems like a good player then think about folding.

wat are the stack sizes.

I tend not to mention stack sizes if they're large enough so that nobody is pot-committed at any point during the hand. Is that typically understood?

After thinking about this some more, I think I have to fold (unless I have a read that he's an idiot). His check-call on the flop says either "I have a made flush" or "I have a strong flush draw." Given that, every hand he could reasonably call a raise with preflop beats me.

As it turned out, I called and he flipped over A K.

Stack sizes would be a huge factor in calling here. As long as this doesn't cripple me, I probably make a crying call here...

Im not sure about you
but
i think people bet different and react differently to bets depending on their stack sizes, regardless of whether or not they are pot committed.

I would have bet the turn, probably 1/2 pot, and see where I stand
