sactownjoey 0 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Nothing would surprise me in this hand. Everything from KQo to 6666 is possible with the donkish minbetting/calling on the flop. I would guess you are probably behind at least one of the hands but I'm pretty nitty. Call? Link to post Share on other sites
copernicus 0 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Against 1 player call, against 2? no way If there isnt a boat out there someone at the table is insane. Link to post Share on other sites
pokerinc 0 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 It's a 3.4 turbo.Call all day. Link to post Share on other sites
potatoman 0 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Fold preflop? Seriously, I just don't play many hands this early in a sng.I fold the turn as played.You check raised and got two people wanting action. I know this is a low-limit turbo, but it's a mistake to call here. At best it's a str8 and a Q high flush. If we're ahead 1 out of four times here, it's a mistake to call. Sngs are about survival, not winning big pots of cash. I think we might be ahead 1/10 times here at best. The fact that the king of hearts is on the board makes it even less likely you're ahead. If you can't fold this, you're in a lot of trouble. This should usually be two boats or a moron and a boat. Easy fold. Link to post Share on other sites
NonZeroPossibility 0 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 It's a 3.4 turbo.Call all day.I tend to agree with this. Usually Copernicus would be right, but you always must consider your opponents. And I would think these opponents would be more prone to slow playing if they already boated up.

OhKeePa 0 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 call.One person, maybe both have the 6 w/ nothing else...either that or one 6 and the other a flush...you're the winner here Link to post Share on other sites
jmbreslin 0 Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 Fold preflop? Seriously, I just don't play many hands this early in a sng.Fold A4s in the SB for 9-1 odds? Even I'm not that tight in the early stages.So far the jury is in favor of calling, with cop and potato as the minority opinions, but I'll wait for a few others to chime in before posting results.

mk 11 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 3.40 turbo stt.....call.i could maybe fold a non-nut flush, but it's just far too likely your hand is good. Link to post Share on other sites
jmbreslin 0 Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 Well, the minority opinion had it right this time. Idiot SB had Qh7h and idiot CO had KK for the flopped boat. Didn't see the limped KK coming, that's for sure. Oh, and I called. I figured K6 and K5 were highly unlikely, and I almost completely discounted KK, but I didn't give enough consideration to 55. In hindsight I can't see too many hands that 2 players would be prepared to go all-in with here that I beat. Link to post Share on other sites
KoRnholio 2 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 In hindsight I can't see too many hands that 2 players would be prepared to go all-in with here that I beat.6x and a lower flush are probably the most likely hands here. Your call was fine. Link to post Share on other sites
copernicus 0 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 6x and a lower flush are probably the most likely hands here. Your call was fine.Maybe at these stakes, but at $30+ this is a boat a vast majority of the time. Link to post Share on other sites

jmbreslin 0 Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 Sure, but it's impossible to distinguish the limped AA/KK from the millions of other hands they'll limp with. Link to post Share on other sites
DelftDragons 0 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 At these stackes I'd call for sure. A boat is definatly possible, but you will see this behaviour also if the rest would be holding stuff like:-A set-A straight-2 pair (kings and 6's for example).-Anohter flushAnd also a boat, but he! shit happens Link to post Share on other sites
