What do we do, what does he have ?
No reads I can help you with.

To my honest opinion it seems like a desperation shove for someone trying to get the pot. But the question is do we have odds and outs to call ?

 

[Steveg1976]

the blinds are 15/30 where is the desperation coming from? Call, call is often a set, he could have AQ so to me this is a fold. No reason to make such a marginal/hero call so early. Make a note of the play and see if does it again. Just my thoughts, FWIW

 

[eNTy]

Maybe the desperation of wanting to win a semi decent pot ?

 

[Steveg1976]

You have 8 clean outs (maybe 11) if he has just a pair lower than K's. 1200 to call for 1545 or about 1.29:1. Call if you feel want to, but the price isn't right and if you have no realiable read then you this is a fold. Just my thoughts.

easy fold at this point

But next time cbet ~250 and probably call a shove according to my very quickly done in a couple of seconds maths

Agreed, guess I felt like gambling or had a hunch.
Cause I called. I was thinking that I never seen this kind of play and saw no reason for a shove like that other to protect a weak hand. So I called, he flipped A7 os for the bottom pair and I completed my straight on the river.

All in all very risky play and I'd do better to lay it down in the future I think.

dont know if calling is a really good option here. U may have outs, but an overbet like that i mena hes either tilting or making an sick overbet for flopping a set / nuts. No way im calling here
