Here is what I thought was a interesting hand I recently played in a "live" cash
game with 25c/50c blinds with ~6 players who all bought in for $20.
Limps around to me on the cutoff (stack ~$30+) and I have pocket J's so I raise to $2 and the btn (stack ~$40+) and bb (stack ~$19) call and everyone else folds.
Flop comes J-Q-K rainbow so I have a set of jacks but of course it is a
very scary board with 3 broadway cards.
BB checks to me and I bet $4 and btn calls behind and then back to the bb who now check-raises allin for another $13 on top.
I know this player and he only chk raises with the nuts so is most likely A-10
for a made straight for him to check-raise allin on this flop.
So the pot now has ~$29 in it, and I have more money behind if I lose, so I
call, expecting thebtn player behind me (who I also know) to fold, but instead he goes allin also, making the pot~ $54 and I now will also be allin for my last $12 if I call.
While waiting for my decision btn makes the statement "we probably all have
the same hand" and I know this player does not make deceptive statements so now I'm pretty sure they both do have the same hand and both made straights with A-10 hands since my experience is anyone making this statement honestly is just quasi-whining about having the nuts but only getting a chop for it.
Would you call or fold and why? Would you do differently if no reliable read on hands? Would you do different if it was a tournament situation instead?
Who is actually favored to win here with 2 streets to go?
