Can't give you the HH, here it is though:

Blinds 20/40, you are in MP/LP with 5,000 chips holding Queen of Diamonds Jack of Diamonds

UTG has 1,800 chips and raises to 125, you call and the button calls. The blinds fold, pot is 435.

Flop Two of Diamonds Ace of Clubs King of Spades

The original raiser UTG bets 300, you call and the button folds. Pot is 1,035.

Turn Six of Diamonds

UTG goes all-in for the remaining 1,375. What do you do?

this is a simple one.. the pot is laying you 1.75:1 and you can only count the 3 10s and 9 diamonds..

12 outs is 2.83:1... the pot should be 3895.83 but clearly isn't...

your remaining stack is 4575 with the blinds at 20/40 there's tons of room for you to keep playing if you fold...

fold...

why are we not folding on the flop?

fold preflop, fold flop and fold turn

Indeed. Needless to say, I was the UTG player holding Ace of Spades King of Hearts and got dumped out of the tourney by this moron.

I thought about the hand afterwards and was trying to justify his play but I couldn't which is why I posted it here. On the flop he is drawing to one of four tens or a runner runner flush. Calling here is horrible and calling again on the turn is too horrible for words.

maybe he was "foating" the flop Wink

woulda worked if you had JJ

I actually think his play wasn't horrible preflop or on the flop if Geno is liable to knuckle the turn without a big Ace. But there is no reason to call the turn push; that's pretty bad.
