what would you do in this situation??

you hold 9,10 of hearts on the big blind. the pot doesn't get raised so the flop comes up:

6h, 7c, 6s.

you check, theres 2 other people in the pot with you, they both check.

4th street is

8h

you have a straight to the ten with an inside straight flush draw.

you bet, get raised then the third person goes all in.

all three of you have the same amount of money.

and you have no tells on this man as this is the early hands of a home game and you've never met this bloke before

do you call??

You have to call that
There are very few hands he could have that could beat yours

Since he only raised after the 8 came down, he probably has a straight too, or maybe pair or trip 8s.
The guy who went all-in might be bluffing wanting you to think he has your hand

But you have the best hand and unless you get really unlucky on the river you should at least end up with a split pot
(It's very unlikely he has pocket 6s as he probably would have bet small earlier)

You mightn't win this way every time but the strategy is still sound, in the long run you'll win.

Don't worry about losing the odd stack early on in a game, you should only enter when you can afford to rebuy once or twice

Call and hope.

full house or Quads is the best hands possible and the only hands that have you beat to this point.

Possiblities of getting beat on the river to a Bigger Flush or a Fullhouse or Quads.

The question is weather you feel like gambling. If you feel you are the best player at the Table than you have to fold. No need to Gamble if you can out play them over the course of the evening.

If they are on a draw they have 7 outs for the flush giving them a 15% chance of hitting on the river. If they have a set and are drawing for the Full House and Quads they only have 4 outs and a 9% chance.

If they have paired both their down pocket cards with the board than they have 6 outs to the full house and a 13% chance of catching.


IF You are beat you have 1 out to the straight flush. A 2% chance of Winning.

Ask these questions of yourself.
Can I beat this Game. If the Answer is yes than fold. If the answer is no tha you call. If you are not sure than you need to ask yourself if you want to Gamble.

Some info you didn't give that is extremely important is the Buy In, The size of the Pot and the Size of the Blinds.

You gotta

You gotta call....chances are they are playing the trip sixes not thinking anybody has the straight or they may even have a lower straight then you. Most times you'll be solid with this hand. Good Luck!

I'm with the grinder if I feel I'm the best player at the table I would lay down if not I would call.

I would def call but I would be slightly worried by the 6's. I have been beat with a straight before, the guy hold 6 8 and hits the FH.

I hate that!

I say you have to call

But, you shoulda went all in after you got ur strait. Plus, you have a reg. flush draw too, remember that. You have so many outs, and one prolly has trips and the other with pocket KK or QQ, just calling becuz their start hand looks good. ALL in, if you lose, no biggie, thats poker sometimes. But more than half of the time you'll win

Was this a real hand? I'm curious to hear what the river card was and what the others were holding

ok well i called, he was holding pocket 8's, so had a full house. my only out was the 7 of hearts.
the 3 of hearts came on he river giving me a flush, but i was beat

with a not to big stack i would call, u have so good cards so often you will win

In that situation YOU HAVE TO CALL. Not only do you have straight, but u also have the straight flush draw. Him pushing all in clues u into one of two things he has crap and is trying to steal that pot, or he made a huge hand with something like 68 that he limped in with or could be holding 88, who knows. But your pot odds tell you to call, you simply have to make that callin that situation, a fold would be the incorrect play.

definitely call....hope no one is holding full house or quads and no one was slowplaying....id say go for it

with no raises??????/

must be careful of the 6-8 6-7 fullhouse. or the slowplay of pocket 6s,7s or 8s. i might fold in that situation depending on the player and the wat of the table.

i would callthat since none of them bet on the flop.

If this is big money I would fold, but if you are playing for pennies and buttons I would make the call. If this was at the wsop, well then I'd most likely lay it down. You gotta think that right now there are 5 hands that can beat you and many more that can out draw you...

that is tough..... early on in tourney you may have to lay it down in fear they were slow playing you with a higher straight but heck it's gambling so....... I would have called if it were me

reply

well you have an opportunity to have the nuts when all is said and done..someone is probably post oaking w/ four hearts putting you to the test because the hand is pretty evident about the straight and flush possibilities...answer=all in :icon_cycl

I would fold, with the possiblity of the full house or four of a kind, not risk losing the game for a str8, w possible flush.

I would have called but I also would have been taking notes at the table about the players and if I was at this table for a while you would know if you should have folded

FOLD - its cheaper ..... boat for sure .... or it doesn't worth anyway - if he is loosive player you will get him next time ....... but for you BB and little bet it doesn't worth and open endet str8 flush never come neather str8 neather flush
