Flat call on the button vs an UTG raiser?

Hmmm.... I would think to raise he either has AQ AK 77 55 or sfa.

I'm intrigued too. What happened?

[NoflopsHomer]

Byron raises in 4th position.

I don't want to completely discount A7 or A5 though, but for AQ or lower I think he would raise more to better define his position, a minimum raise does not gain you info here. This makes it more scary to me.


(Now I know everyone is going to min-raise me in the Blonde Tourney tomorrow....)

Yup my bad. A7 and A5 should be considered. He has the stack to see the odd flop.

I think he is a non believer.

 I don't see he would raise you here with 77 or 55...surely he would keep calling your bets and raise later with these hands

 I have hit my flop so it all goes in here. if he wants to call for half his stack..... so be it...

Argh! Good post!

Ok I'm lost, my usual theory "is if in doubt lump it in"! (and pray!)

[byronkincaid]

Yeah well I thought he was trying to bully me as he had reraised a few times before so I thought I'd show him by going all in. Unfortunately I didn't scare him off his set of 5's.

thx 4 the replies

Just goes to show, I know nothing!

I think the minimum raise means your beat.. probably behind to a set of is my guess.

[12barblues]

I would most assuredly have gone broke here too.  You have a premium hand pre-flop and hit the flop.  What more can you want?  If he has a set, he wins the lot.  In addition, if you lay this down you will never be able to bet a flop on later hands with less than a set as they know they can take the pot away from you cheaply.

The answer would  be very different in a deep stack cash game.....but it isn't!
