  2. could have 6 7 for open end draw on flop, or maybe a set. All depends on read, fortunately he had a smaller stack so if you call and wrong you still have some chips. I could see a call or fold depending on your read. Most people probably say fold here.
  3. FWIW - I'm calling here b/c this is such a cheap buy-in tourney and still early. In my experience at low stakes, too many players will make -EV shoves on scary boards. Given that there's already about 4300 in the pot and you have to call 2070, you only need to be ahead about 1/3 of the time to make it profitable and I think you probably are ahead about 40-45% of the time. That's just a gut number, not based on actual calculations as to what he might hold.

    Agree with the prior advice that the read is really important here, as well.
     
  4. He definitely got a set on the flop... sorry.
  5. i think its an easy fold, limp utg and calling a 4x raise usually means weakish pp or suited connectors/1 gappers, 44,55,66,77,88,TT beat u, 22,33 i dont think are a question and 99 maybe would call flop and turn but i dont think would shove river,JJ,QQ,KK i dont think are in his range considering the preflop,flop,turn, and river play. 45,46,56,57,67,68,78,8T,J9 all are ahead here and i dont think any other connector or 1 gapper would play the hand this way, only possible hand i think he may have that you beat is a hand like JQss that missed all his outs and he used that scare card as a spot to bluff but even that i dont fell so confident he plays this line. im assuming that the fact that u did call and still posted this means he had u beat.
     
  6. what site did you post this on?

  8. I'd say this is 55/44 a large portion of the time.
