    Last nights mini.

    X is very fishy and happy to get chips in the middle if there is a chance of a head prize.
    Y had just joined the table and didn't recognise the name.

    Obv discounting folding! So.....peel or raise.....

    im raising or maybe  getting it in, so many outs , one must have the set the other tptk if you hit double stack you miss on to the next one..hoping all the time neither have bigger overs in spades , theres a time in mtts where you have to go for it and this seems like a good spot do do it. imho

    I might lean towards a call. Sounds like we dont have fold equity for this guy so it boils down to whether we want to get it in and realise our equity of whether we do better by hitting and then getting the money in. The bet from X seems pretty strong so I think I lean towards call.

    Thanks for the comments gents and apologies, this thread slipped my mind.

    Interesting thoughts Matt. My initial reaction upon seeing that flop was a crotch tingle and the prospect of getting as many chips in the middle and as soon as possible. But then the guy donk bets pot and the bb flats, so that put a temporary spanner in the thought process and I elected to peel instead of following the normal instincts of sticking it to them and pumping it up.

    Turn was an offsuit K, and again sb donk potted it and bb flats, so by now I kinda felt like I'd lost too much equity with just one card to come and the pot was bloated vs what I had behind (obv no FE either) So I meekly folded and felt a bit dirty.

    Wasn't too sure if I should have just raised the flop, GII if someone doesnt want to fold and ensure I get to see turn and river, or if playing it a tad more cautiously was the best line.
