Title: fold or raise?
Post by: Claw75 on April 24, 2007, 09:39:47 PM
6 handed fast-structured tournament, blinds 25/50.  I've got about 3000, SB has about the same and BB has us both covered.  Early doors, so no reads.

I'm UTG +1 with  8h 8s and raise to 200.  SB and BB call.

Flop  2h 6c 4h

SB bets out for 200 and BB raises to 400. 

I reraise to 1200 and both call.  Given the bet, raise and both players calling the reraise, what's your action following a check and 800 bet on the  5c turn?

I dunno that I am comfortable re-raising with 88 against 2 oppos I probably pass to the initial raise instead of betting out again.  No set no bet for me with a pair of 8's is generally my rule unless i am very short stacked

i personaly wouldnt have bet 1200 on the flop after a bet and a raise.

its either all in there or fold by betting 1200 youve done half your stack on the hand anyway and with them both calling your basically pot committed.

the minimum reraise in front of me would have been enough for me to get away on the flop and ive only done 200 on the hand.

yeah I'd agree with this. I fold this on the flop after a bet and a raise. Also don't like the preflop raise with a hand like pocket 8's BTW. Just a limp and hope to hit a set for me here especially early in a tourney.

Ur never passing here. Prime example of being pot commited. Dont like the turn re-raise though.
