re: Poker & $2.5 NLHE MTT Turbo: Facing overbet jam with top pair on paired board
Thanks for the comments. I think, the standard play here is definitely to fold. Its a limped pot, and as I wrote many times "never go broke in a limped pot". However I actually ended up calling, and the reason is, his line made no sense to me. Raising the flop with bottom pair makes no sense, so I did not think, trips was in his range. Limping preflop with AK, AQ or QQ+ also seems pretty weird. Not saying it never happens, but I think, these hands are strongly discounted from his range.
He is really only representing a few full houses like A9 or Q9 and then one combo of quads. And even those hands are very weird to play as a check back on turn after raising the flop. When you raise people on the flop, they are typically just going to try to get to a cheap showdown, so first raising and then slowplaying makes absolutely no sense, even if you turn a full house.
So I really felt, that this smelled like a bullshit bluff. Also this tournament is at the bottom of my buyin range, and I am overrolled for it. So if I flew out of it in the first hand, then I would just pay another 2,5$ and register for the next one, and it would not bother me to much. He had 22, so my read was correct, and I dubbled up in the first hand of the tournament
