If the money is playing that big a role in your decision making then you should not be playing. That is a next to dream flop for your "friend" Why are you calling the re-raise pf if you are going to lay down after hitting. This was the wrong decision all the way. Your crushing the villains overpair imo. Snap call. Link to post Share on other sites
shynepo3 0 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Obviously the spade or straight is going to come, but he has to call.lol. He should raise or fold preflop. And I wouldn't call a 11.5 bb raise preflop with 33. but that's me... Link to post Share on other sites
hartman72 0 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 This hand is so bad it's ridiculous. Hero should easily fold preflop to a 50 dollar raise. Hero should then bet/shove on this board against a PASSIVE player, let alone an agressive one. Link to post Share on other sites

StonedViper 0 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I'm probably the shittiest poker player on the planet but the question he needs to ask himself is "Ok, why did i call with 33?" Of course the answer should be "to catch another 3 and win a big pot" He caught what he wanted and ran away, he should have just folded pre-flop if he thought he wouldnt call with the set.The other guy probably knew your friend was scared money on the last hand and just stole his $50 with the worst hand. If he had pocket 8's or 9's then grats to him. But i'd guess an overpair or the nut flush draw is what he had. Link to post Share on other sites
cashman 0 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Lol, did he call the $50 preflop hoping to flop quads? Link to post Share on other sites
Boners_Galore 0 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Lol, did he call the $50 preflop hoping to flop quads?No, I think he was only looking to call if a straight flush formed around one of his threes. Link to post Share on other sites
koogy 0 Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 No, I think he was only looking to call if a straight flush formed around one of his threes.I said the same thing....He should of shoved after villian's RRIts a pretty dumb play by him....trust me he regrets his playBTW villian had AA Link to post Share on other sites
Boners_Galore 0 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I am thoroughly impressed that your friend was able to build such a nice stack with the same mind that told him to fold this hand after the flop. Link to post Share on other sites
BaseJester 1 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 There are rare times to fold a set on the flop. This is not one of them, because we are not remarkably deep, the board offers lots of draws and thus encourages action from lesser holdings, and we're not playing a multiway pot.
