can I get away fromt his? The more I think about it the more I feel I should fold here. I mean what hand could he have besides 3 sixes?

try not to post results

the action is spooky but I don't see how you get away from it, especially after you check the flop. you should have CR'd a lot more anyway and then it's a no brainier. No one is calling a CR without an ace and if they have one they like they'll call a lot more than 1/3 PS or whatever this was. Don't let the donk bet throw you off. I would also just lead flop because your line helps worse As to fold.

[Sprayed]

I agree with dr. Don't let the results make you think that you did the wrong thing.

Just trying to get better thats all. A great player wouldda made this laydown. I think he has only one of two hands here, 66 or A6s. I couldda got away from it. 99% of the time I'm way good here, but even before I called I said there s a decent chance he has 66

Your post contradicts yourself. You say a great player would have gotten away when you are good "99%" of the time. Anyway, lol at a great player ever laying this down in this tournament. Easy call but I do like your attempt on putting him on a range, I just think you need to get a better feel for his range. In these games you'll see bare Ax hands doing this all the time. Nh.

[CorbinDallas]

never ever ever ever ever fold this in a $4 180... or probably anywhere else.

I think he has only one of two hands here, 66 or A6s.

AK very possible... AJ AT possible in this tourney too.

nice hand.

[rewfie40]

Although not as likely, don't forget to throw big draw hands like 10sJs or Ks10s.

id find it very hard to fold but i might because the bet to begin with is so small and the raise is so huge. if he wanted to push u off the hand without a cooler hand like aa qq or 66. then hed raise to half your stack and stack off anyway when u raised. u raised for information (i take it) and he made it 10x your bet (all in) theres ur info. just make a note on the guy that he has a tendancy to "sucker" bet trips. the check is horrible here as u loose the inititive. if ud bet and he raises then u can see much more easily.
nice hand and very tough to get away from. if it were live or in a big mtt for a large buy in it would be a very hard but nessesary laydown.
the check call is the bad bit here i think a bet/reraise/fold line works better.

I check raised the small on the flop just a little because I wanted fold equity if he 3 bet me. I didnt plan on the massive over 3 bet. I know its near impossible to get away from this but could it have been folded? I think so. the whole hand screamed 66 in the hole, IMO

[hlester25]

And for the record, I dont think his range is anything but A6 or 66 and possibly AQ also.

[mcdonough22]

A great player wouldda made this laydown.

You watch too much TV poker. A great poker player gets it in and doubles to a huge stack in a $4 about 90% of the time here.
