I would probably fold here .

You are healthy in chips , why get involved and your flush draw may not be good.

If his FD is no good then his pair is ahead though...

Very True, but I am at a loss as to where I am in this hand - it would be a fold for me with those chipstacks and blind levels.

[Royal Flush]

lol exactly.

Made it a cheeky 2500 more, make it look like you want a call.


I had a very similar hand yesterday in brighton, i am sitting well above average as is 1 other player in the pot and there are 3 on about average. I have got myself to the flop from EP with  its come my aim here is to get my stack in whilst i have some FE but also to build a pot first. The only question is how do you build the pot so you fire the big bullet, in my case it was a simple check raise. In your case its a lead then a 3 bet, you have got to your desired destination so pump it in.

I did end up 3-betting it to 2.8k, unfortunately he pushed and I had to call, he had the yiketastic K-9 and I missed.

I can't just flat-call since he'll shove the turn if I miss.

Would anyone try checking behind him here?

[M3boy]

I still do not like the 3 bet myself, other than all in - put the pressure back on him.

I personally would fold because :

1) It is a Blind vs Blind confrontation, unraised for a VERY small pot - he could have practically any 2 cards

2) Stacks are deep.

[Highstack]

He limped from sb to bb. Raise him pre and pass if he comes ott. It can save all this hassle and putting your head through the mixer
