ChipRich20: raises 1125 to 1725
BURRXXX: raises 3075 to 4800
Ugot2outs: folds
kswaterboy: folds
sirrich111: folds
ChipRich20: Huh??

Stack sizes before the hand:

Seat 3: ChipRich20 (28896 in chips)
Seat 4: BURRXXX (22852 in chips)

300 players left.

BURRXXX has 3 bet us once pre, but only once and played pretty tight apart from this.

Now do well call 3075 here or just fold?. Surely if we're calling we're just calling for set value or a very specific flop such as 4 5 6 or 5 6 8? Out of Position aswell for the rest of the hand obv.

Explain?

Why would you call another 3075 (ie 11% of your stack) to hit an 8 to 1 shot when your opponent only has 22852 to begin with?

the implied odds in this hand are 8.432/1.

its a call of 3075 to win 7875 (the pot) and 18,052 (his stack)

25,927/3075 = 8.432/1

so even if we are certain he has a big pair + will stack off, its +ev.

Unless i iz wrong.

YA. also, raising is clearly incorrect, as we only get called by better hands against any reasonable player and (mostly) better hands dont fold (poss 20% of his range folds?).
folding could be considered, but as leKnave says, we have near perfect implied odds and im assuming (it fucking looks like) villain has a huge hand which makes stacking him if we hit a 7 100% gtd.

I call and play it from there... Never jamming, sometimes folding, depending on opponent...

This was my point - I dont think it is a certain call.

Yes I appreciate that we get the lot if a 7 flops, but to me it is a marginal call even on inplied odds.
