if he was preflop shove, I was folding, but maybe he was afraid and look what he got. The truth is, I was in a very hard fold preflop button , he thing good handThis whole hand played out weirdly, That UTG limped with the pocket 5's , with a 2-1 stack advantage is kinda strange. I suppose he might have been set mining with the intention of trapping. Betting his small pair pre-flop is a much stronger play. I can see why you flatted the A2s with 2 callers ahead of you and 2 players still to act, you are drawing to a nut flush and behind most aces. The SB only completing does't make a lot of sense iether. With 10bb's he should be shoving or folding, and in this situation with a pocket pair Getting 2-1 on my money and a pocket pair I am shoving pre-flop.
The flop comes and small bind now elects to shove his 2's with three over cards on the board and 8 outs to his open ended dfraw. UTG, who has flopped his set makes a min-raise for value. UTG+1 flats and when it come to your turn to act the pot is $321540 giving you an SPR of 1.6 to 1. Any bet here makes you pot committed. I believe a shove here is better than the slightly more than 1/2pot sized bet. Your bet gives them 8-1 pot odds, shoving makes their pot odds less than 2-1 . Any one holding a set has draw odds of about 6.7 -1 by only making the .6 pot bet you give them the right price. You have the small end of the straight and a backdoor flush draw and you would be behind 67s and or x6 hands. And there is still the chance that the pocket pairs would not fold but they are making a mistake. :bebored:
Just some thoughts
why cooler and no scam ? do not denigrateOuch! (I changed a word in your thread title to cooler)
he did not fold for anything, he played at full and went in, he was lucky.I prefer shove in the flop, but well played IMO, the villain never folds his set in a spot like this.
Better luck next time
