Situation and choice...

[Bainn]

I didn't naturally think it was a wind up post, I said I wondered before I looked at the replies because, to me, it seemed such an open and shut case of "call"

as it isn't, I suppose I should apologise for wondering if it was a wind up

glad you got some good replies, hopefully including the second half of my first post

don't let the rest of it put you off

can I stop digging now sir?

Fair point in regards to it being an instant call for us and therefore why you may have wondered if it was a joke post, but by posting I am helping a player progress even further in their game.

The replies have been helpful and yours was virtually spot on with my thinking, pocket 3's may have just called pre-flop but surely pocket Kings or Queens would have re-raised pre-flop ?

I reccomend you stop digging when you smell gas my friend....

no problem. Where there has been discord there is now a little harmony.

good night.

I snap call you really can't pass here. While muttering under my breath "please don't have 33".

[TheChipPrince]

Maybe in future you should post it in the learning centre if you don't want people to think you are on the windup.

Nearly every reply has been instacall and even tighty the rock of ages thought this might be a windup!

You have been playing long enough yourself to know everyone is going to call here.

Good day Jim,

I know the "Learning Centre" is not a place you need to look at anymore, but if you did you would have seen I had posted the same thread there once I realised that the "Learning Centre" existed, after all, I do not post in the P/A section as a rule. I left this thread up because some kind Blondes had already shared their opinions with me and the person whose hand history it was.

You seem to have forgotten that in my original reply I stated that yes, it was an instant call from me but I hoped other people would be able to explain why it is so easy to call and not automatically assume we are beaten by 3 of a kind better than I may have done at the time.

The person whose hand history it is has thanks those who have taken the time to post their valued opinions and explanations.

However, I find it amusing that even though you feel this thread is a waste of time and benneath you, that you have still spared some of your extremely valuable time to post again without taking on board my explanation for the actual existence of this thread.

If you wish to discuss this further then I look forward to doing so the next time I see you, maybe at the next BB ?

If you're not prepared to put your whole stack in with something that isn't the nuts, you will never be a winning player. That's not a criticism, but the truth, that's why this is an insta-call given the other players' ranges.

[snoopy1239]

I'd instacall here. His range is too wide for you to worry about the possibility that he has you beat, especially considering he didn't raise pre-flop and didn't try to extract more value from his hand once he hit. (both of which most players would do). You also have the fact that he could have an inferior two pair, a flush draw, or, considering that you don't know your opponent, this is the early stages of an online multi and people can be influenced by alcohol, misclicks or downright stupidity, a complete bag of spanners. The only holding you should be even remotely concerned about is bottom set, but even then you still have four outs to the redraw.

[Bainn]

Thanks for the replies chaps.

If you want something helpful to take to your friend then i would sit them down and discuss their bet sizes when they flop the effective 2nd nuts, betting more than the pot here limits the chance of Qx and to an extent Kx making serious mistakes.

The over bet on the flop is the only point of discussion i can see in this thread.

Oh and my name is James.
