You call
10s 5h 8h flop
You bet $4, small stack pushes $25 all in, big stack thinks then pushes $270 all in.
Fold, call?
I'm sat with top pair and the nut flush draw, but i'm almost certain one, if not the two of these players has hit a set or have 10 10+ at least
Anyways, I folded. big stack shows 69o inside straight draw (and didn't hit) and small stack has bottom pair.
Gutted...would have been nearly 7 buy-ins up!  |
Ouch. I know the feeling all too well Mambo. I hate to say it, but the "weak" players out there try anything at the table. I've laid down large hands like your's only to watch a pair of sixes take it down. One measly pair; not to mention the sixes were the lowest card on the board. I don't know if there is a proper counter strategy to play against these kinds of people, but I guess just sticking to your game and playing solid poker will hopefully in the long run end up making you the winner.
On a side note, I've noticed that once you know that these guys will play pretty much anything and raise like they've flopped a straight flush, you just have to go with your gut instead of brain and call their gamble.
Just my two cents. I hope you end up the winner in the long run Mambo. You are obviously playing solid poker. Just keep at it with your game and you'll eventually shock these guys with an absolute monster hand while taking their crazy ass raised chips.
