Ship it in!:)

If ya lose the hand, fire up another game.;)

Hellmuth's Mole

Pays 4 right?

I get it in and hold my nose. That 3 bet to me smells weak in that spot, UTG is coming along to try and catch.

I would guess by the action that you flatted which I am not a fan of. I don't hate a fold but jam would be my move.

HM, I agree flatting would be a bad play with more players to act I took the safe play and folded. To win sometimes you have to lay down big hands.Had to laugh when I saw the flop
*** FLOP *** [2h Jd 2d] figures eh
Worked out ok. Was 4 to 1 chip leader heads up, still lost:( Had my aces cracked when he hit runner runner,:bs: couple of hands later I flop a set, he flopped a boat , couple of hands later he rivers a str8, I 'm done:-X
No offence, but really phil, just ship it, you have to put a little more though into the hand, players , position, stacks, you have play to win phil:)
Thanks for the input guys.

haha trying to get more talk huh? I do see why you are asking, I considered everything you said with stacks etc etc, that's why I said ship it in. You are still playing for the win by doing this.:)

There are players who will raise that big with the big hands so ya their is a chance of him having a bigger pair, but their is a bigger chance he has like a medium pair or some kind of ace.


For the record you had about 59% equity against this guy's range if you want like a darbday answer.:p


That being said if you think you have a edge and can find good spots still than a fold here is not the worst.:)

compuease

fold, Seat one had 2,2...


















I peeked...

True, often people raising big are not holding the nuts preflop. They have a hand like 88-99-AQ-AJ et hope to win it Pre-flop. It's a bad play (raising that big) but when it happens you have to know whats going on.

If you had QQ, ther's no questioning you ship it. With JJ ther's now AQ that's coinflipping, you could fold and find a better spot. But at 1$ buy-in I'll never fold there.
