    I'd probably just call being OOP and hope to hit a set.

    yeah leaving table prob good

    calling seems not great when im not cloing action

    Dudeeeee at the risk of falling for it.....

    You are joking right???

    U're either trying to get a bite, or you have mis-read the stack sizes.

    We can't set mine v 14xbb stacks.

    fold em.
    if u call and miss the set and theres overcards u'll end up folding anyway :)

    was more interested in shoving than calling
  • edited May 2011

    You could shove, but you're getting called, and rarely better than 50% if ever.

    don't play this level but yeah fold em.
    Think you need abut 7/1 to call and set mine, don't think you got that here
    more like 4/1 if that :S

    I could be really incorrect, enlighten me DOOOHHHHHH

    you don't need 7-1 you rarely ever get that in cash

    Setmining is all about implied odds, so the deeper you are the better setmining is- I wouldn't setmine against anything less that 50bb effective stacks. Ofc, multiway pots are better- but you need at least one or two good deep stacks involved there.

    You can't setmine against tiddly stacks, it's just not profitable. I fold this, GT- and maybe get another table. If they're raising loads though that's quite a nice spot to play a good TAG game IMO, just shame stacks are so shallow.

    If I do decide to play it I look to make a bet that pushes out MP, but commits the other 2 shorties

    I'm not a big fan of taking J's vs AK in a cash game.  This scenario not really being too dis-similar to your odds here.  The only benefit being that with the action in front your likely looking at some counterfeit paint cards.

    Folding is fine, Making it £3.5-£5 is also fine IMO.  I dont think we can make it all about set mining, as your hand holds alot of strength on its own merit.

    Well I mean you need minumum 7/1 implied odds to make the call
