Title: was I right to call? Post by: Claw75 on March 22, 2006, 01:32:12 PM MTT, 155 of 225 players left, average stack 2200 or so, I'm left with 800 chips. Get dealt Ah Kh on the button. Blinds 25/50. A few limpers round to me, and I raise to 200. get called by one player in mid position.
Flop comes 3h 5c 7h. Opponent first to act and goes all-in (exact same chip count as me). I put them on an overpair, but figure I've still got a few outs, and see a good opportunity to double up, so call. They show 8c 8s and i don't hit. Any advice on my play here appreciated - thanks :) Title: Re: was I right to call?

Title: Re: was I right to call? Post by: 12barblues on March 22, 2006, 07:18:38 PM Depending on the number of pre-flop limpers, your pot odds are around 2:1. A call would probably be justified by the flush draw alone even if you ignore all 6 of your overcard outs.
If your are an optimist, and think all your outs are good, you are better than even money to make your hand. The pot is offering you a big overlay. Throw in the fact that you need to get some chips quickly before the blinds go up again and that the money is presumably a million miles away. Autocall. Title: Re: was I right to call? Post by: temp0r on March 22, 2006, 10:53:56 PM agree with bongo and barblues. also there's a chance they could be overplaying AQ or AJ. at the end of the day you're gonna need some good fortune to get back into a position to even look likely to make the money. so it's a no brainer. even though you're pretty sure you're behind by a fair bit.
