    I don't like it.
    You are definitely behind and one of those cats could have the A-x.
    Why do you think you HAVE to please ?
    Personally i would have checked the flop too.
    But hey i imagine a legion of people will disagree.

    I think the pot size for don to call is defo worth the gamble in this instance , if they all had 200+ bb's or summin then i can prob find a fold here , i hope xx

    Effectively tho he's calling 2 all ins. So i figure usually 1 of them has made hand of some description and 1 of them often is drawing.
    If 1 of them is drawing to flush they have 2 of Dons outs. Sometimes they have A-x and his flush draw is useless.
    It just struck me as unwise under those circumstances. It is a gamble and one he doesn't have to make. He cant even be sure that his K or Q are live.
    If the counter argument is yeah but it's nl4 so they are fish poos or whatever then i still don't think it's a good argument on principle. Just because our opponents play poorly it is not a good reason to do the same.
    If he had have checked things might have been different.
    I'm just telling you how i'd do it tbh. Maybe i'm too tight/passive but i spend my time looking for more favourable spots than this if i choose to call all ins.
    We'll probably find out that they are both insane and doing it with air in which case i stand corrected.

    Wild horses do not stop me hitting the call button.

    Due to stack sizes and large cbet I think I would have to then call here not overly happy about it though.

    I might fold if I disconnected. Once you bet that flop you are not folding

    let me guess, drumbeat has A/K - 9
    Tonkar is sitting nicely with the set of 7's
    and you called and hit your flush beating em both :) or did he manage to get a full house by the end of it ;o
