I've already made 2 minor mistakes here with the size of both my pfr and cont bet, so I'm a bit flustered.
I really struggle to put him on a hand here. He raises my cont bet x3 leaving himself just 400 behind. I'd have expected a proper push from a drawing hand, or a flat call from a set (or possibly a horrid min-raise).
The nature of the flop doesn't lead me to think he has hit a 1pair hand like say a KT8 flop would.
His pause pre-flop niggles me as well.

So, Fold, or raise him his remaining 400? (calling obv pointless as they are going in anyway).

(If anyone wants to play the 'Its obvious he has XX' game then go for it, we do get to see his hand).

Im all in.

My guess is a lowish pocket pair 66/77. The pause preflop may be him deciding whether to raise or flat call and take it from there. He's probably figuring that flop can't have helped you, putting you two overcards and wants to end the hand now since he knows there's probably going to be an over card on the turn.

As you say he wouldnt push with a set, so i think your ahead here.

Marq

I can't fold here in an STT. All in.

staringelf

this is an easy all in at any buy in level sng. in situations like this you are ahead 99% of the time in my experience

Lafortezza

arr-in! His hand range is pretty wide, anything from flush/gutshot draw with Ax spades, a set, a pair of 66-TT.

Dont worry about that you got your caller and not 3 or 4 of them.

I wouldnt be thinking too much about that. I'd be ok with doubling him up if he's got me beat on this flop.

For me this is a why decisions are so much easier in stt's than cash games. You lose here you do your $20 but if you lose here in a cash game you do$250 dollars.
Just wondering for cash game players would you be willing to commit your stack the way this hand has panned out so far in a cash game as easily as an stt?.

your resolve is weakening Rounders....see you in the SE Friday 3am for silly cash game madness

califano

Well i assume you should but i dont play cash games and i hear cash game play is completely different from tourney play so i thought i'd ask. Also Marq's comment suggests that it could be a different decision sometimes in a cash game which is really why i ask?.

Waylander

I'm thinking he has an overpair to the board, and is hoping you raised with AK or the likes. All in.

ArmaniJeanss

Cheers to all replies.
I pushed, he called for his remaining 400, and showed 33 to give him 10 outs(which all missed).

No I wouldn't, but it would depend on the Villain and History...
