Can I rly call this overbet?

Postby miaowmiaowchowface » Sat Mar 08, 2008 8:50 pm GMT

Live 5/10 Ten-handed, I just got to the table but won about 50% of the last few pots (I was hitting everything), and I may be seen as a LAG (but I doubt it, some of the players know me a bit as well).

Anyhoo, I have about 1800, I'm on the button and have 9 :club: 6 :club:
A few limpers (4-5), and I limp in as well.

Flop: 2 :heart: 6 :diamond: 6 :spade:

Checked around to me, I bet 50$. BB who I know nothing about calls.

Turn: 5 :diamond:

He checks. I bet 150$. He cogitates for a sec, then goes all in. He has about 4500$, and the max buyin is 2000$, so he can't be terrible I'm guessing.

Is he on a draw here, or am I beat???

Results later.

you call... he shows A6... se la vie...

cogitates... really... you had to use an overly big word?... you couldn't say, "he thinks for a sec.."

sometimes using big words to sound smart makes you sound dumb when you use them wrong, or just overuse them all together..

Sometimes when you get on someone for using a big word you had to look up you look like a d-bag.

*edit-I think I would have a very hard time folding. He might be trying to represent your hand.

I think I can find a fold against unknown. The main problem with folding is your image. when winning those 50% of the hands did you show a hand down or did you win all without SD?

If you won without SD there is a small chance he does it with an over pair. I can't really see any draw, unless he decided to peel one with 45/35 and now thinks he is in front with his pair+gut.

You are representing a 6 at worse. Your most likely holdings are 56,76,86, A6 or 22. If he does have a 6 there are not many that you beat. And you are getting such bad odds you have to be right very often to make this call correct.

This is really down to image, table dynamic and reads. And readless I think I can find a fold here.

Considering preflop, stack size and pot size I'd say this is a very easy fold when you don't know much about your man.

Yeah, There wasn't a single hand I took to a showdown. I think the flush draw sort of thing is possible, he may have put me on an overpair- I reckon he would have raised a 6 on teh flop.

It came down to how often I needed to be right, and in the end I did fold, but I regret it now. I don't know what he had :(
