Stacks are 500 Effective, 2/5 10 straddle live
This game is by far the wildest I have ever been in, I am the shortest stack buying in at 500 [the max], almost every else at the table is sitting 3-5k deep.
These players are losing their minds with marginal holdings and preflop is RARELY less than 3-4 players and 3/4 betting is basically every hand. Because I am so short relative to the table I was trying to keep it pretty tight until I make a hand or two and understand what these people are doing.
MP3 Opens to 50 over a straddle [standard for this game,] I call from the button with 99, UTG calls behind me. 3 to the flop, pot is 150+/-
Flop is 2 5 4 rainbow. UTG Bets 125, MP3 Raises all-in. Decision on me.
775 in the pot, there is no chance the player behind me is not going to call. Basically 450 to call, 775 in the pot, 1275 if I am correct about the player behind me coming in.
I tanked for a few minutes, and eventually folded my 9s. MP3 rolled over 6s and the small blind had A7 off. I would have tripled up if I called, however I dont think I was ahead of any reasonable players in that situation.
Thoughts? Was this a bad fold?
