I have pocket 7's
flop is
blinds are 800/1600. UTG had raised pre-flop to 3200 and myself & BB had called
so there was 10400 in the pot. Can't remember the exact stack sizes but no-one was sitting comfortable. I think we were all in the 'M' of 10-15 range.
when the flop came down the guy in the Big blind bet 1000 (was told by the dealer that min bet was 1600 etc...)
UTG folds (he later said to me he passed a King as when the BB bet he saw me reaching for my chips. I have a terrible habit of constantly arranging my chips whilst I am waiting for my turn to act.
Wish I hadn't done that now!)
I am now being asked to put 1600 into the pot to win 12000 against a guy who only wanted to bet 1000.
So I'm getting 7.5 - 1 to call and try to hit a 7. Is there a 13% chance he has absolutely nothing?
What are peoples views on these situations when the blinds are getting big and people are betting into big pots for the minimum amount.?
I mean if the pot was 750 and he bet 100 I'd call no problem. But in the later stages does this change?
I ended up calling and the next card was a Queen
he checked so I checked ( I had him on some sort of weak King but also the type of guy how would not fold top pair under any circumstances. Just based on previous encounters)
river was a King he again bet 1600
15200 in the pot now!
If I call I have in all probability just donked off 6400 chips over the course of one hand
If I fold I have passed to a minimum bet on the end when getting almost 10-1 to call (is that ever a correct pass?)
I ended up folding on the end.
Does anyone have anhthing constructive or otherwise to say about this whole sorry debacle?
