Huge hand at Rama

AcidJoe · Aug 01,2011, 07:19 PM

Playing 1/2 at Rama today and have approximately $360 in front. One other big stack has just over $400 and to my left UTG. UTG has been fairly aggressive in pots and will open limp regularly with any pocket pair, 10's or better he would raise A 10+ o would be a raise as well there as well.

The big stack limped in UTG and 6 other limpers I'm in the BB with A7 h and checked and we see the hand 8 handed.

Flop is 10h 9h 8s and I lead out $10.... UTG min raises me to $20, everyone folds to the button who makes it $55. Action to me and I make it $100 as the button has about another 80 in front of him and I want to try and isolate him. UTG tanks for what seems like 5 minutes and then shoves. Button calls ..... what is my play. Button has been draining chips but it is possible that he has anything top pair good kicker, top pair and straight draw etc.

What is my move. Pot is approximately $530 and it is almost $248 to me all in.

Knowing what a tight and conservative player you are, I am guessing you snap folded . . .

LOL I didn't snap anything....... I thought about it and did what I thought I had the odds to do..... I want someone elses analysis of this situation. I have been playing a fair bit at Rama (3-4 days a week) as I really want to see what my results are playing a lot.

You are in a situation with a monster hand....sd/fd....if you are raising the flop you are never folding to a shove.

If you want to take a more passive line you should be flatting the 55 and calling the all in of 80 to stop the action.

Either way getting your money in with this hand on this flop is a no brainer....you don't need to tank here. A lot of 2 pairs and 1 pair with a draw hands also show up here so you can win with your Ace/straight/flush.

instead of your raise to $100, you should have just got it in, the button is isolatedthnen the way you wanted, the UTG probably folds instead...unless your going for the mass equity of it, its too late to fold now, not saying your committed but its close enough to shove with all your outs

Isolate? WTF? You have no hand and are drawing to the nuts and a straight draw to back you up, although not a good one. The raise is good but thinking you are doing it to isolate is wrong. You are in this to win as much as possible, not lose the least if your draw misses. You want to build the pot to the point where it is impossible for you or your opponent to fold.

2:1 on your money, probably 12 good outs, maybe 15. Come on. Mission accomplished.

pot odds say yes call... wtf these live players lolol

That's a pretty obvious call IMO.
you have tons of live outs, and an ace might even be an out, since it was a limp pot, somebody might already have the made straight, but I'd still definitely be calling.
