Interesting 3-way

[SDPokerDude]

2/3 cash, full table (9 players) I am button

UTG (donkey calling station) limps
UTG +1 (solid player, rarely limps) raises to 25
fold to me I raise to 50
blinds fold
UTG calls
UTG +1 calls



URG checks
UTG +1 bets 75
I figure UTG +1 for mid pair at best (66 - TT) I completely disregard UTG

I call.

UTG shoves with an additional 92.

UTG struggles, but mucks. I assume from this he may have like AK, so I adjust my odds to 9 outs with the draw.

I have him covered, with about 100 additional.

Insight?

Did the donkey show any evidence of 2nd level thinking? If so he might have figured out that both you and the other player in the hand may have had each others outs and shoved the board that would miss you two.

I'd say most likely he's on a flush draw, maybe a over pair lower then T's

[SDPokerDude]

He has been impossible to read. He has been checking the river in position with monsters, betting with nothing, calling a raise with K3o out of position...

I can only play my cards against him.

Do the math, you've only got to call 92 more to try and win over 400. His ATC range and maniac style makes this a MUST call. If he shows you something like A5 or 56 so be it. I say you are either ahead or have the pot odds to call this 90% of the time against this type of player.

[SDPokerDude]

That was my thinking. Only hands I am HORRIBLE against are A5, 56, 22, 33, 44, AA, AK (and to a lesser extend KK and QQ), and all I have to do is call 92 to win about 550.

I made the call and everyone at the table looked at me like I was crazy, so I thought I must be missing something.

Donk flipped JJ, I whiffed.

I am 100% OK with the call, though.

You played perfect poker then on that call. If he would have turned over the jacks before you called you still should have called because your pot odds where better then your odds of winning the hand.

seems like a spot where you cant fold. Don't min3bet... make them pay

Does the use of a cup qualify as a three-way?
