  1. Just busted the 33r just after this key hand. The guy who shoved had been shoving a fair amount, so his range was pretty wide. Was my call with 77 to lose? Should i have just folded and never got involved?

    Thanks in advance.

  2. I think you can find a fold here. Although the villian has been active your probably at best flipping for the majority of your stack. If he has been tooling around you can probably find a better spot to get it in agaist him or another player. I could be wrong in my thinking though so take it fwiw.
     
  3. I think this is pretty standard- calling a 12bb shove from MP with 77 is probably the right move based upon your read and you need to chip up or die.

    BTW- I ignore that goofy raise, since it is likely apropos of nothing and is essence a shove. I think he could be doing it with a raggedy ace as much as a hand like TT.
