Bad instacall?

I didn't even really think before making this call. It just looked so much like a stop-and-go, or maybe a flush draw. This is a turbo, and we're already in the money, not that $0.16 means anything. What do you think?

I think that's a horrible attitude

It was a joke. It just seems funny to say "in the money" when that is a .06 profit. The important point was ITM, in it to win it, etc...

I like it, this range doesn't have too many bluffs in it and it's not bad

much rather call it it on a 889 flop than 883

I can certainly agree with this, but I was hoping that one of the short stacks behind me would shove over, or that one of the big stacks would get frisky and try to make a play at me. My plan was to call a shove preflop or simply go with most flops, whatever happened.

Also, I just realized that the hand converter screwed this up. I was UTG and the one tagged "UTG" was actually in the BB. In this case, the dude showed up with Q5s. I can't imagine such a hand would ever call an UTG open shove, though he apparently felt that it's a decent hand to just call preflop with and try to make a play at me.
