    Meh. I think I fold here, with 2 opps one of them is bound to have a set or better 2 pairs. I'm interested to hear what others think though.
    Our brains have just one scale, and we resize our experiences to fit.

    It's a $3 turbo, from what iv'e seen from the $6 turbo's i can say this. CALL. the amount of times your against J10 and Q10 here, or maybe JJ and K10 or w/e makes it a good spot to get your money in.

    Better 2 pair? Doesn't seem to realistic to me. I know it's a 3.40 and there are really bad players but who's limping at 50/100 UTG and UTG+1 with 10-4 or 10-5 , maybe if the SB had been one of the raisors i'd think a better 2 pair.
    A set of tens is the best possible answer i think in terms of what were behind here..
    a set of 4's or 5's is less likely since i have one of each.
    But even more likely is an overpair (god do these terrible 3.40 players lovel imping AA-KK-QQ) / A-10 , or K-10 or something like that.
    I'll post results tomorrow.
    I felt like it was a fold too.
    Results are kinda suprising , end results are even more suprising.

    I did call. It took me awhile though. I was so close to folding.

    well i'm thinking one guy has bullets or kk and limped it, and maybe the other guy has an open ended straight draw and is an idiot. any reads?

    With the action leading up to this it is hard to think that you are beat here. I would get my chips in. Run the numbers. You are way ahead of their range of hands.

    You have 16bbs and you speculated by taking a cheap flop to hit a monster and either double-up or go busto. Looks to me like you got what you wanted.

    INSTACALL. This is most often a naked 10 and possibly an overpair. They both could have J10-A10. Sets unlikely. Never fold this in a $3.40.

    Ya, if you're not prepared to get your chips in here then you shouldn't have completed in the first place. Whilst I'm not delighted that there are two opps in the hand, I can't see any way that you can fold here. You are way ahead of their ranges - sure, sets are a risk but I think they show you crap like AT and 99 here more than often enough to make calling +EV.

    Hero was in BB.
    Ah yes, I should have a) read the title and b) read the HH more carefully

    Still stand by my advice to shove it though.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver Cards)

    UTG (t1330)
    UTG+1 (t1710)
    MP1 (t2555)
    MP2 (t2940)
    CO (t205)
    Button (t1720)
    SB (t2935)
    Hero (t1605)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with , .
    UTG calls t100, UTG+1 calls t100, 3 folds, Button calls t100, SB completes, Hero checks.

    Flop: (t500) , , (5 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets t300, UTG raises to t700, UTG+1 raises to t1610, Button folds, SB folds, Hero calls t1205 (All-In), UTG calls t530 (All-In).

    Turn: (t4845) (3 players, 2 all-in)

    River: (t4845) (3 players, 2 all-in)

    Final Pot: t4740

    Results in white below:
    Hero has 4h 5s (two pair, fives and fours).
    UTG has Ac Tc (two pair, aces and tens).
    UTG+1 has As Ah (three of a kind, aces).
    Outcome: UTG+1 wins t4845.



    I was delighted to see what they turned over since that mean UTG+1 was down to 1 out (unless board pairs turn and river) and UTG was down to 2 outs. I was over 75 percent to win this one , oh well.
    I GUESS i can understand limping aces from UTG but limping after a limper like UTG+1 did was just bad.

    My bad. Replied to fast. But my advise is still the same. You shouldn't question if you did something wrong if you got your chips in as the clear favorite.

    I'm thinking UTG has a hand like QT or KT, and UTG+1 has an overpair that he is fist-pump raising all in on the flop. I call.

    Edit: posted before I saw results. I was pretty close :P

    Ni Han btw.
    Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.
