TP RR All-in

[tonymaclennan]

Last time I saw my opponent push all-in versus me he had TP and medium kicker calling a 3BB PR (but donked my $5 with a paired board on river).
No extensive reads or reads on PF play.

So what would you do here?

I think you have to fold here. He led with a pot-sized bet into 2 players, including the pre-flop raiser, so he is less likely to be bluffing, and your stack is too deep to like calling an all-in 3-bet like that. There are no draws, so my guess is that he has a set or AJ.

I have to say I'm not a big fan of either the pre-flop or the flop raise.

Pre-flop, in early position I might overlimp at a loose-passive table. If I flop top pair, maybe I can get some donk to call down with a worse pair; if not maybe I can steal a small pot that no one wants after the flop. Also, I am deep enough that I have huge implied odds if I flop a big hand or draw. Raising here only bloats the pot when you have a few players with position on you left to act, and most of the hands that call you will have you beat, if not crushed. If I were going to raise, it would be because (a) I think Silverado is a total fish who is limping UTG with garbage and (b) I am pretty sure that everyone behind me will fold. I would raise to .25 for the opportunity to go heads up in position with a fish. Your raise is so small that you are really inviting calls.

As for the flop raise, I don't think it would fold AJ. If your opponent is trying to push you off with air or a smaller pair, a raise will probably make him fold, which you don't want. I would call the flop bet and reevaluate on the turn.

I don't mind the preflop raise with KJs as it is still a top 10 hand. But his all-in overbet is representing a lot of strength that I don't think is worth the risk with just top pair. Maybe his overbet is a bluff but then on the other hand the vast majority of the time I think he probably has you beat here, easy fold in my opinion.

Its 5NL, you saw him push tp with weak kicker, id go ahead and call.

preflop is terrible, atleast raise to .25c, or fold playing a pot with 5-6 ppl oop with KJ is going to burn money.

As is call based on read, readless you have 2 options a) call this one for information on future shoves, b) fold this time call next time
