I havent got round to learning pot odds yet but im guessing pot odds are fold.

On that flop im thinking he has QT, tripped, K high or has flushed.

Any heart beats the flush, a Q beats his straight, an ace beats his K high...he might have trips though but who goes allin with trips on a one suit board!!...... drawing a better straight and flush I took the gamble.

Ive been studying this hand and have decided in the same situation I probably would have done the same.

So opinions much appreciated please. Keeping in mind it was a do or die hand that I could easily have walked away from.

[stewart]

imo if you think he has flop trips, or the strait you cannot call this hand, if u think he has the hand he got then u can

[Horneris]

Id have probably called Suzanne. You were only a 48/52 underdog when the chips went in.

And you dont have a huge stack, and its an oppurtunity to get one. And you already have 300 in the pot.

People will say it looks like he had 2 pair and you should fold, but id probably still be greedy and gamble.

Marginal imo.

[thetank]

I'd call him for the above reasons maybe, but mostly coz I don't like pissing about with microstacks in an MTT.

If I can even see the droppings of some pot odds, I'll chuck my change in there and gaze on indifferently as to the result.

[AlexMartin]

If he has any of the hands you think he has you cannot call for pot odds against that range. But then you have a teeny tiny stack so id gamble.

Its a marginal call imo.

[suzanne]

Thanks guys.

I still think given the same situation I would have done the same. It was a gamble but as you say it was a good chance to get a decent stack.

Funnily enough I have just played a very similar hand only I had the K 10 and the guy hit...oh well.

[NoflopsHomer]

There's nothing wrong with raising this preflop I think.

[Nem]

Or checking the flop

[temp0r]

agreed with the 2 above posts. to be honest he's not limping with a smaller holding than A10 at this stage anyway so why not shove preflop if you're so desperate to double up.
i don't understand the weak bet on the flop. surely a check raise all-in is in order here? but you have to call still. you're drawing all over the place.

[suzanne]

I would not raise preflop with A10...been caught out too many times with that 1.

I did consider going allin but thought a weak bet might have been seen as strong...when he went allin i knew he had a decent hand (expected better than what he had) and yes it was a total gamble.

That is why I am asking was it a bad move ?

Im thinking now it was.

[thetank]

I would not raise preflop with A10...been caught out too many times with that 1.

He had KT, would he have called a raise?

If not, then you have been caught out here for not raising with A10.

[bhoywonder]

you gotta go with ur instinct here suz


any sniff at doubling through has to be seized upon...if u had maybe 3500 i pass


good call,and a little unlucky

[Royal Flush]

but thought a weak bet might have been seen as strong.

You bet 80% of the pot......

I probably raise pre flop here, when i don't i am either check raising all in or leading for 4-500 depending on the player.
