    Its a tough hand to fold. It is really player dependant. Do you know this player? Any signs early on about his play? Has he been really aggro? etc etc.

    got no reads on players as this is like only level 2 or somthing like that, what made it more difficult was there is a player after to go aswell.

    At this stage in a low level DYM it's a fold.

    Make it 150 total pre-flop with the extra limper.

    looking at the stack sizes, you could get away from this and still be very comfortable. However, if he has hit his flush then why is he shoving? Surely he would be betting for value. Tough spot. Is the villain good enough to rep the flush or is it a recreational player that has got a bit too excited at hitting a monster?

    I do agree with LOL RAISE. The pre flop raise should be slightly bigger. Make it 150ish and you probably dont get two callers. 3xBB doesnt put serial callers off early stages of DYM's when the blinds are small. Maybe LOL would go even bigger?

    Ouch. Next time you'll call and he'll have the nuts. lol.

    They say if you have a set then you should go bust with it. I dont hate letting go to be honest as its early doors, no reads, you still have 2k back and you havent taken the risk. If its cash its a definite call tho'.

    Did you cash in the end?

    From the 1st hand i thought your raise  on the flop was fine, but to get 2 callers on a drawing and flushing board, then to hit another heart is a good fold imo  ( in the long run )

    I think if this was a £5 + DYM intead of a 30p DYM you wouldn,t be getting so many loose callers and would have taken it down.

    The thing about bad players like that is you can,t read them
