Master Cash 12/12/09 - Make Your Play TWO
I like this one!
We are playing £0.50 - £1.
Villain 1 (£42) is seriously tight.
Villain 2 (£75) is SOLID.
Hero has £55, and the BUTTON.
Hero is dealt 7h, 8h.
It's 6 way action so far, all having Called a £3 bet from UTG.
SB now makes it an unpassable £7.
Villain 1 (Mr Tight) now jams for £39......
Villain 2 (Mr Solid) now has a little dwellage, then jams for £72!
Everyone else runs away screaming.
So what do we do with our £52 & 7h 8h on the Button?
Fold?
Call All-In.
Vote NOW.
Please assume all players are properly rolled for £0.50 £1.

I'm folding this without giving it a second thought.
I've invested £3 in the hope of catching a big draw in a multi-way pot - the perfect scenario for a drawing hand in position.
Now, a tight player has gone all-in and a solid player has gone all-in after him so I'm putting them on two over-pairs to my cards so I think that I'm 4/1 to win the hand and getting nowhere near the correct pot odds. The small blind may also come into the pot so the pot odds may increase (and my odds of winning the hand will probably stay about the same) but I'm never going to be getting the right odds to call.
I just fold. I have to beat 2 players which means I need to make a straight, or fh to win, flush may not even be good enough and its huige odds on one has an overpair. Maybe if they both have pocket aces I call...haha. If it was a tounry Im calling, but its real money - and theres easier ways to make it.
The table is obviously full of passive players, 6 callers pre flop for 3xbb, I fold, immediately reload to the maximum buy in, tighten up, and enjoy probably the easiest game of poker I'm likely to find at this level.
DOHH
Reminder to Tikay of his AA beaten by 56 the other day in a deepstack, I am certain TK is folding here as well.

DOHH!! Been refreshing the page constantly in anticipation of make your play 3, its only a 2 hour show! haha dnt I feel a clown
Dohhhh - surprised you've not Posted on the Total Player thread (stickied at the top of the page).
Free trip to Vegas of no interest?
I haven't read it properly yet TK was gonna watch the show tonight first then see what its all about. I'll have a look now.
Heard you mention the other day that GREGGHOGG had gone to vegas with you, n he plonked himself nxt to me at a cash table the other day, obviously after the easy money again
Didn't realise he had played in the main event at the WSOP!!!! WOWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!
Watched the film about him on youtube, thats amazing i'd never have known!!
I'll read about it this afternoon and be watching tonight.
Cheerz, DOHH
I call.
Although 78hearts is a lovely hand to crack overpairs, and im defo up against two overpairs here, this is just a gamble and i dont think i have the correct odds.
However, like Phil i might be tempted to call if im feeling lucky. hehe

wat
No need to say more.
V1 doesnt have enough equity at the table to call the reraise and to then get anyone off the pot, he can pass though but doesnt. He knows V2probably wont call either now there is some money in the middle. So by jamming V1 is protecting something and makes V2 isolate or get out the way. V1 is happy to take this now or to get action from maybes 1 player - I am leaning towards a small PP or Big Slick.
Neither Villian is asking for a call. The small blind asked a question and got two answers, they didnt ask it loud enough to be massive in my opinion. If I call I think they have the odds to call too, raising to 7 was odd and could have been an awful attempt to take the pot preflop, or could have been pot building, it certainly wasnt protecting anything. They could be holding any two and after that bet I am not convinced they will call even if they should.
I call - I hope the small bb gets out the way, and I half expect to see 2 x AK - if not, its AK and I hope an underpair from V1 & V2. If the small blind comes along I wont be surprised to see KJ.
I know I have to hit but I have more outs than a naughty dog and 5 cards to improve my lot.
If you was the rr with AA and saw the buttom flip over suited connectors and bust you, you would feel sick.
I feel the way you are writing this as sort of a trick question...
'So what do we do with our £52 & 7h 8h on the Button?'
as if the fact we're on button makes a difference here?? were could be anywere facing 2 all ins and fold 78.
Id have to fold as the following would happen
if i called flop would come Kd Qd As 2c 3s
if i fold flop would come 6h 5h 4h 3h 2h
So fold is the safe option
Fold
end thread
Good to see you fella. Post more.
thanks tikay
i will post more often mate. started watching the shows a little more and thought id check out the forums.
But going back to this hand, i genuinley cant see the discussion. unless u really fancy a flutter and/or u believe theyre getting it in with unpaired holecards or low pairs (which is basically never!) then its a trivial pass.
iittsss aaaalllliiiiivvvveeee !!!!
You will not be aware of this, but I was rooting for you big time on Day One of the WSOP Main Event in Vegas this year - you had some day there, eh?
I'm not gonna give names or blow your alias, but Sky Poker players all know of you from your expoits on the Sky Poker Cash Tables, but will not be aware that you made a stunning start to the WSOP ME in Vegas this year, & were almost the Day One Chip Daddy. Then the wheels came off, pfft.
But Master Cash is trying to help players who need a bit of assistance with their game. (I think you are OK in that department.....).
So the questions are not really there to find a "correct" answer, the answer is not relevant. Their purpose is to provoke discussion, & from that discussion, many of us can improve our games just by reading & contributing to the discussion.
We'll try & make the answers less obvious next week - I'm sure I'd not be alone in hoping to see some comments & advice from you.
In the meantime, have a good week. And if you play Omaha, we have a little surprise for you on Monday......
