I'm in control of the table. I've been pushing and raising a Ruccous and then this hand comes up. My Question is the flop call with such a strong hand. Should I be in it, and playing to win it, or is this an easy fold. By my estimation against top pair I had 8 outs to the straight, 5 outs to the 2pair/trips and 1.5 outs to the backdoor flush. 14.5 outs. Figguring I'm such a crazy favorite, should I be willing to gamboooool and put is in the money with a commanding chip lead/versus having to fight back against such a huge hit.

At this point in the Game, I've made a comeback, I'm extremely loose, and stealing a lot of pots. I'm not the top stack, but I'm playing to win. Which has cost me once allready. I've been reading the AYCEB posts, and think that playing to win 4-handed is good. I figgured that SB was on a little pair because he didn't want to do any playing postflop.

UGH horrible

hand 1- fold pf, as played fold on flop.

Hand 2- fold UTG

[Fortune 500]

I have to agree. Badly played. I don't entirely hate the call in the first hand, but you're going to be OOP for the rest of the hand.

Absolutely hate the push over on the flop. Isolating with bottom pair and a straight draw is ill-advised.

Second hand is probably a fold. You've got a loose image, so you're going to get pushed over a lot here..

hand 1:
Calling minraise with suited connectors and huge chip lead = good
flop = good
opp all in = bad
ergo fold = good.
Let it go and save your stack. Someone else may call to put you ITM.

Hand 2:
M=7
QTo not enough UTG. Maybe from button, definately from SB. As played fold leaves you with M=5ish. Definately pushable stack. just fold and move on.
