  • How much do you call?

    Posted by eanderson85 on March 6, 2022 at 9:28 pm

    I should have potted my c-bet. But in this case, it wouldn’t have mattered.
    As played, you have Second pair blocking the nut straight and get shoved on. There’s still a player left to act.
    How big of a shove do you call, if ever?

    If I am playing well, never. Particularly multiway. All you are doing is bluff catching with second pair against two opponents on a connected board with front door everything. Even if you have the best hand, you are likely behind whatever he would choose to jam into two players and if you are not, then take a mental note and save the chips for the next time. I don’t think the c-bet accomplished anything and I think that a check was in order because unimproved you want to get this hand to showdown as cheaply as possible.

    The spot stinks cause the “ladies are pretty” (no-disrespect to women intended), but in essence, this hand “just isn’t that into you” and you need to move on from this “relationship.”

    Never calling a shove here. sure you block the nut strait but thats about it. Also i wouldnt pot cbet ever. you can go big but to get your money in smoothly with 3 equal bets i think you can go about 60ish % of the pot. that being said a check here i believe wouldve been correct. Sure you have the best range for the board. but top set is almost always a pure check, 2 pairs sure you have them but so do opponents that flat pre. I wouldve liked a check more still. can call if its small but if it goes x x b r you can fold now without losing any chips.

    The question wasn’t “would you call here”. The question was “How much would you call?” Would you fold to a min bet?
