not too many reads on the table.

your stack £40
we have  7h 8h
6 way on the flop all calling 3£

flop comes 2h 3h Ahrt

sb bets 7£
utg+1 (the lady hasnt played a hand yet) insta jams for £30
utg+2 rejams after thinking 5 secs for £45  

could you ever fold here?
you also have 2 more ppl behind you.
would there ever be a situation when you can fold?

say u were 300 bbs deep

and both utg+1,+2 jammed for 200 bbs each

Instant fold.

The action sez you're drawing dead.

Best case scenario is yr up against something like a set of 3s and the nut flush draw where you will have 42%. When yr 8-high flush is winning you don't have a lock on the hand.

Fist pump jam 100% of the time.

300 bbs deep there's going to be more action to get a feel of what you're up against.

Action pre likely to be different as well so very difficult to say.

lol at the thought of ever folding here for 37 quid

use your right hand to push the £37 in chips into the middle whilst using your left hand to get another buyin out. You cant pass but as said, are probably 60/40 at best.

Easy fold...lol

if you are shortstacking 40bb and playing hands like 78s then this flop is gold, if not then fold preflop

If I'm deeper I'm folding...

Never folding here. Deeper stacks and it's a different story...

This is your shortstacking for a reason, the reason is never folding this flop.

Plus why would you ever fold a runner runner straight flush draw for £37

I'm surprised that so many posters are saying can't fold, the action in this hand is so strong. A 6-way flop, first to act leads £7 into £18 (must have something), a woman who hasn't played a hand 'insta-jams' for £30 (very strong) and the next player jams £45 (very strong).

The players in these £.50/1 games are usually loose with £1 but tight with their whole stacks, and three players have shown a lot of strength, with players yet to act behind.

Also I don't understand how 40bb is a short-stack?

You jest, surely?  40xBBs is a short stack, you can't raise and then fold with most hands that you're going to be raising with.  A bet on a flop is going to see you committed to the hand.

As you're short-stacking and willing to play 7h 8h what flop do you want to see!

Hi, I have a flush i'd like to bet 40 pounds sterling please. tavm.

;sexybanana;

FYP

wp 40bb ftw

LOL
It wasnt me in the hand

but the guy tanked for 5 mins then he decided to call made me lol for a while.

well the sb had A3
utg +1 had 45os
utg +2 had 33
and a lp dude had QQ with a heart

lol at ppl saying fold.

lol at people saying fold because this time the flush was good?

Am I on my own here? Am I the only one who would consider folding ????

40 bigs is shortstacking in a low limit live cash games, where 6x opens are common

Joe if your playing that stack and calling the raise you cannot fold this flop even if extra people join the table with their own deck of cards and shove before you.

The reason why i would not fold is that he only have 40 bbs
you cant afford to see many flops and fold when you miss or when things get funky

you have hit this flop pretty hard
so you have to shove your chips in as fast as you can

OK then fair enough

Funnily enough I was dealing the £.50/1 last night when a pot was raised to £4, five or six way all-spade flop, small blind bets out, raise and re-raise then he folds an eight-high flush... and it was the best hand.

The small blind was sitting with £100 but he couldn't believe it when an overpair and some other non-flush hand were shown down.

Perhaps I've been playing too much Omaha?

I do maintain that £40 is not a short stack on the £.50/1 game. Preflop raise is usually £3 or £4, even after some limpers. You could happily set-mine with a stack of £40 in this game, and you could raise preflop and bet every street. Thats not a short stack.

In my mind a short stack is a good size for 3-bet shoving preflop, or raising then having one bet on the flop. Now if you're sitting on a £1/2 game with £80, and the preflop action goes raise to £7, call-call-call-call, or raise to £12, call-call, you definitely have a short stack because there's no way you can profitably peel a flop with a speculative hand, and you have a good stack for making a profitable shove.

So it depends on the game rather than just saying '40bb is a short stack'.

40BB is the equivalent to a 4 inch penis.

Pretty useless, and you usually have to shove it in and hope for the best

where do you work?

I dont see many places which raise 3x or 4x
its normally limp or 6x to 12x pre.
But I normally play at the casino in salford.
