    Default Question About two hands $11 buyin

    Hand1:

    -----Hand 9-----
    Heros M = 11.88
    Full Tilt Poker Game #3115282252: $10 + $1 Sit & Go (23802282), Table 1 - 40/80 - No Limit Holdem - 19:20:00 ET - 2007/07/31
    Condensed history provided by the Tournament Trimmer (v1.1.2w) from http://www.FlopTurnRiver.com
    Seat 1: PokrSt8 (1,330)
    Seat 2: lizdazzil (2,520)
    Seat 4: killerinstinked (2,145)
    Seat 5: Hero (1,425)
    Seat 9: Liitle Fishey (6,080)
    Liitle Fishey posts the small blind of 40
    PokrSt8 posts the big blind of 80
    The button is in seat #5
    Preflop: Hero dealt 7 7
    lizdazzil calls 80
    killerinstinked calls 80
    Hero calls 80
    Liitle Fishey calls 40
    PokrSt8 checks
    Flop: 2 3 5
    Liitle Fishey checks
    PokrSt8 checks
    lizdazzil checks
    killerinstinked bets 320
    Hero ???

    What is the correct move here with no reads? Do I reraise? Push (with so many people to act after?)? Flat call? Should I be scared of an over pocket pair?


    Hand 2:
    Full Tilt Poker Game #3115732792: $10 + $1 Sit & Go (23802282), Table 1 - 250/500 - No Limit Hold'em - 20:06:34 ET - 2007/07/31
    Seat 2: lizdazzil (6,100)
    Seat 4: killerinstinked (1,200)
    Seat 5: L_Clan_Sup3rMaN (6,200)
    killerinstinked posts the small blind of 250
    L_Clan_Sup3rMaN posts the big blind of 500
    The button is in seat #2
    *** HOLE CARDS ***
    Dealt to L_Clan_Sup3rMaN [2s 3c]
    lizdazzil folds
    killerinstinked raises to 1,200, and is all in
    L_Clan_Sup3rMaN has 15 seconds left to act



    Cant get hand converter to work for FTP for some reason (anyone else have similar problem?). I folded this so I wasn't able to tourney trim.

    Would you call this? With read (or general knowledge lol) I would say villan would push here with any two cards but at best I can hope for is a 60/40 against me. Call or fold? 700 call to 1900 pot, 40% of 1900 = 760, so this means I am getting slightly good pot odds to call this right?

    Hand 1: too many callers.
    Usually, you have to pay respect to whomever bets big into a multiway pot. If you flatcall, to see if he fires again, 1/3 of your chips will be gone and you'll be comitted.

    Hand 2: pot odds dictate call. call me nitty, but I just don't like 22 in a raised pot. ever. maybe except headsup. but this is personal preference/superstition.
    The logical/right play, is of course, calling.
    My dream... is to fly... over the rainbow... so high...

    Hand 1 is a horrible spot. Stack sizes are awkward and such a low overpair doesn't look awfully strong here. Calling is bad I think as an overcard will come so frequently on the turn. With a read that he is a solid player, I might actually fold this. Readless though I think you have to shove although that may be wrong. Tough one.

    Hand 2 is a call. i think your maths is wrong also. You have to call 700 in a pot that is already 1700 (not 1900). So your % of the final pot will be 700/2400*100=29.2%. 23o is 32.3% against any two cards, so it's a call but actually quite close (i didn't think it would be this close so someone find my mistakes plz )

    Hand 2 is a weakness of mine. Yes its a call, but I need much better odds to call with 23o. In my case I'll normally only call 2:1 (1 more BB). Probably depends on how disciplined I'm feeling.
    Just dipping my toes back in.

    We have nearly 2.5:1.

    Yeah, I got my numbers wrong. Short version, I'm not voluntarily putting much money into a pot with 32o unless its well and truly +ev.

    Hand1: With your stack you cant just call, its raise/fold. I am pushing it

    Hand2: Its close, doesnt really matter what you do here

    hand 1 is raise/fold pre flop, then easy shove on flop. As played you have to push.

    hand 2 is a call, but I could see folding if you think lizdazzil will play tight until shorty goes broke since the EV is pretty meh between call/fold

    I pushed with the 77 in hand 1, got called by the person who raised flop who had A5 and 77 stood. Hand 2 I wanted know if folding was a bad move. Wanted to compare with what others might have done. Thanks for the replies guys.
