If you're insisting on playing this the same as a pair of 2's then yes you have the right implied odds to call given that there are five players in the pot.

However, seeing as you've got a good hand why not re raise him. About half a pot raise should do nicely, say $10 more. It's all he deserves for his gay min raise he's just made. Chances are they'll all fold but hopefully you get a customer and can do your hand justice.



Lol, Do you think his gay min raise is weak pie? You raise he insta hoves cus he has AA. Lol We've talked about your reads before.

At 0.25/0.50 I really dont mind the reraise(maybe about $14-$17) but depends on initial raisers game tbh- all following limpers suggest marginals to me so thinning the field is paramount! we could be looking at JJ-AA but with the level 0.25/0.50 we can put opponents on a wider range- obviously we face a decision if we get back raised but calling off means we can ONLY really win with flopped set(or 4 to a straight)- by reraising we want to take it down, but should we get called there is still a chance we take it down on flop if it is low

This is a tricky one because the limpers mean you can't really 4bet and fold. Without reads, it's marginal. I think a shove and hope is best though. Raising some of the amounts advised in previous posts is a mistake imo.

Not weak, just gay.

If he instashoves with AA it's because he's crap and doesn't get max value out of his hands.

Are you suggesting that we set mine then? Are we automatically assuming that everyone who min raises is uber strong rather than just doing a little bit of cheeky pot building?

If the flop comes 2 5 8 are we assuming we're behind to the gay raiser because he must have aces?

We must have another chat about my reads  Grin

Not at all! All i was suggesting is that if you think someone is week they normally have the absolute nuts! Lol, do you not no the outcome of this hand? It was a misdeal, the gay raise was because he had received 5 cards

This seems best to me now.. I did raise but got 2 callers, not the 'gay' min raiser tho Wink flop was k23 which wasn't the best .. I managed to take the pot down open shoving which I'm not sure about either as obv getting called by a K but had roughly psb left and checking just seemed weak ?
