1 of them has a high PP. The other has either a set or flush draw.


I think I shut it down.

Am not really worried about A's here.

For someone to have A's they'd have to be stupid enough to cold call raises twice or call a raise and a reraise with 2 people in the pot. Very badly played.

I'm only worried about a set, and a possible flush draw. Cold caller probably have T's - J's though Ax of spade is a small possibility.

I hate this spot though. You getting great odds. Hell, even a draw is getting great odds here. I guess I call. I like to pay sets.

Fold, theres almost no way you're ahead here and you only have 2 outs, one if the other guy has a FD. You've only put in 29$ and you've got 70 left. Unless you have a good read that a guy might raise 2 players in this position with air, save your money and fold.

Pot is too big IMO and I've put 1/3 of my chips in play. Unless we are sure villian would only do this with a set I push here.

Again though, I really don't understand the flop bet unless we want action, when we get it and then go into the tank I have to scratch my head a little.

Not commenting on the hand at all here. Just wanted to say that if we follow this logic, we should not fold. Smile

Obviously we are not too concerned about Kidar, whom likely has something like QQ or JJ.

Based on preflop and flop action Murph has either a set or flush draw, but more likely a set. If he has a flush draw I would think he'd reraise more so that the other 2 have to go all-in to call.

Heads up I think I push. Definitely not call. 3-way pot based on the action I think it's a set.

This of course is without any reads.

i think the pot is already too big to get away from this hand. im pushing here and be sick when 1 of em hits a flush or has a set, u still hav outs however if 1 of em is on a spade draw u only hav the K Club . tough spot, there is a good chance that u r against JJ and a draw so u might be a solid fav. i would say it is 50-50 that u are against a set/draw JJ/draw, considering this u are getting the right price on your money so i am pushing. i am fairly aggressive though

imo its better to put your opponents in the tough decision wheter to call or not rather than u trying to figure it out, of course sometimes its an easy call and othere its tough and u push them off the best hand

I make the call here and if I end up paying off AA, a set or a flush then so be it. The way it was played I would say the re-raise was by someone with 1010, JJ or QQ.

Interested to see what hero does do though.

Raise more preflop.

With the bet and call, and the blinds - there are 9.5x BBs in there. I make it like 15x BB here. Your raise to 11 puts 20.5x BB in the pot, and the initial raiser only has to call 7 to win 20.5 - about 3:1, with great implied odds AND if the first player calls, the second player will surely call for his nearly 4:1 odds, (and again huge implied odds).

With your preflop bet, this is now a terrible board for you. I would put both opponents on small/middle pairs, and if I saw resistance on this board, I'd have to fold to a reraise.
