I've read Harrington's poker books and he reckons that the pot odds normally gives an obligatory call in the SB, however it has got me into trouble twice this week;
I had J10o in the SB with several limpers the odds were around 7-1 on the money I call. The flop comes 8,J,5 rainbow great flop for me I think. I'm out of pos' though but I raise 800, blinds are 150-300 get called by the BB and the UTG goes all in for around 1700. Now my chip stack was around 4000, should I call? well I think I'm in the hand with top pair decent kicker so I call so does the BB. Next card is non descript last card a 3 so I shove AI and the BB folds which is what I hoped, I got my shove back but the UTG then shows a set of 8's and takes my money. Did I play it right? And how can you put someone on a set I think folding top pair and good kicker is hard, but it all came about because of playing a relatively weak hand in the SB. Thanks you lot for all your great help...the sniper
