Would you call? (online hand)

Down to heads up at a SnG.

One player has 9,000 chips
Two player has 6,000 chips

Blinds 100/200

1 is in SB calls
2 is in BB raises to 600
1 calls

Ac 4s 9d

2 bets 1500
1 calls

Turn Ks

2 goes all in for 3900

Now my question is:

After seeing all the raises would you call with 75 of spades?

Personally I wouldn't since we can only win if we hit a spade and the pot odds are telling us that this is a losing play in the long run. Therefore, no.

Why not call? If you've called the BB, called the pre-flop raise, called the post-flop overbet with no hand and no conceivable draws (!!), why fold now? The whole hand doesn't make any sense to me!?

Agreed

Call,and then laugh when a spade drops and player 2 rightfully calls you a donk and say "I knew that spade was coming since online poker is rigged"

I'd be asking myself why I called pf and flop to be honest. As played I think I'm folding here, I know nearly 1/3 of my chips have gone into the pot, but I will still have 6800 left if I fold. I can still win from here... especially if I show more aggression when entering the next pot

OK Just wondering. The Spade hit on the river and he beat me. I just wanted to get your thoughts on his mindset.

He played most of the time pretty well and this surprised me.

I would wrather lose 1/3rd of my stack after realizing how much I ****ed up preflop and on the flop and keep the rest of my stack to try to beat him with skill wrather than just roll the dice. If the guy plays like a superstar and is 100x better than you, then maybe call... But even then you're really just best to go all-in from preflop depending on the numbers.

The 75 of spades wasn't me. I was just trying to get some insight on why a guy would call all of my bets/raises with that crap.

Oh shit, errr I thought you were playin the 75s well. That changes things a lot. lol whoopsy

Nah I worked hard to survive after getting a bit of bad luck early. I survived 8 others and made it to heads up. I wouldn't gamble on 75 suited unless it cost me next to nothing.

True that. Well quite frankly man, thats poker. You played it good and laid him bad odds and he gambled and it paid off for him. Like Phil Gordon says "No matter howwww hard I try... I can't control what cards come out." Just remember ya gotta look at it all as one long never-ending session. Good play, pat yourself on the back. Thats just the way it goes sometimes man.

OK I just wanted some feedback. I just wanted to make sure I did not play the hand wrong well other then not being the one with 7s5s.

EDIT: I always try to learn from my mistakes. That way I can try not to do it again. So I wanted to know if I did it wrong.

I would have folded 7 5 from the geko!!

Seriously though, I would have probably folded pre-flop with that hand. Not to mention that after the 1500 raise the call was a stupid call with NOTHING on the board. That 1 spade is still NOTHING to me, no pair, no draw nothing.......
The odds for a spade are good, but the odds of getting beat by a higher flush is better.
He could be holding AQ of spades, anything with a higher card than you.

Since you called everything else and basically wasted your money, call.....Either way I'd feel like an idiot, 1 for showing my 7 5 of spades and two folding after wasting my chips.

no way im calling with just 7high, and even then only a 7 high flush draw.

i wouldnt have even called the flop bet.

but then again that's just me.

XXIII just said he wasn't the one with the 75s. lol

ok the guy that called with 75 was stupid and those are the players you make your money off of.... ok so he got lucky but in the long run youlll kill him and take all his money....

I wasn't the one with 7s5s I was the one with the AdKc. I did not want to give away my hand. I just wanted to see what everyone else thought of the guys play vs me.

You should have pulled a Crummy, this is what I would have done:

**** you, you mother ******* **** *** ******* ***** with ****** 7 5 ***** donky *** mother ****** piece of ****. Go **** yourself you ******* ****. ******* suck ***!! Have a nice day sir!

they do that all day ,risk everything on that flush draw ,not even nut flush. donks . BUT in heads up ,I understand it a lil more , hit it ,you end it,if not you still got 3000. I would have made the call in heads up ,even without the extra 3000. (of course I would have folded after flop and not been in that position )

~2:1 pot odds on a ~2.8:1 draw. Easy fold.

That ended the table. And I was thinking on the inside all of those things.

Don't sweat it, you win in the long run with these kinda odds mate.

Since I'm clearly playing with my eyes closed, I'd do whatever it was that my mouse was randomly hovering over.

No, you don't have pot odds screaming at you to call. I don't see there being anyway to call, even with a draw it is a stupid call and you risk losing the tournament. easy fold

If I was player 1 with the small blind and I call $100 to match the BB, when the BB raises $600 I almost certainly would fold my 7,5 spades. Sometimes, maybe I might call if the cards had been falling my way and I was beeing lucky and I had a $9,000 stack. Once the flop came and he raised it $1500, I'd definately have to give up the pot and be annoyed at myself for misreading the play. Even if I was sure he was bluffing, the 7,5 in my hand is going to lose to almost any other cards. Let him have the pot, 'cos he earned it. Beat him with the next hand.
After saying that, if you're still in the hand after the turn, a flush draw is 4 to 1 odds. Not good enough to risk giving him such a massive chip lead. Cut your losses, keep calm and win it back. You will still be left with $6800 (I think?). Still plenty of time!

I can only assume he was cracking under the pressure! I've seen this happen a few times heads-up, he might have been thinking "I cant beat this guy playing this way so I'll try to bluff him no matter what cards come up". He could have gone allin if a spade didn't hit on the turn. Lucky get.
