Strange bet

[Ichoi]

Without a read, I assume that was meant to be called by the , since you have the next hand up in the hand rankings, He must be beating you also. (unless he has the super unlikely T6 for a chop).

I probably click call in a rage and then wish I had folded before I even see the showdown.

But I do think a fold is best here. (But then, I'm running bad)

I mean seriously, how often do seemingly average players suddenly make huge overbets out of the blue? He has a monster. Not surprised to see a straight flush here.

This is certainly a foldable hand.

However online + tribeca + 1/2 NL = push.

I obvoulsy would never fold this hand. My only decision was between calling and pushing.

I thought that there was a small chance he had a higher boat. Normally when someone makes a HUGE overbet like this on the river, they have a monster. Of course in this case, the monster could be the for the "nut" flush.

I also thought that there was a small chance that the moron in EP would call with the if I just called.

Pushing is probably better but these 2 reasons are why I just called. EP thought for a long time so he either was away from him computer...or he had the and almost called. But he folded.

SB had the .

T-Rod, I couldve bet that flop and I do sometimes, but I didnt this time. Good thing, because i doubt the SB calls the flop with [8s].

iceman,

At what level of donkification did you have EP? At the level he'd where he'd maybe fold for $100 that he'd call $75? One more likely to push the last $25, but fold to $100? Or the level where it didn't mater because "WOWIE!!! HE HAD A FLUSH!!" and the looked amazing?

I just don't like the call if you think the SB's doing this with the . I'm guessing you just put a low level of scrutiny of the possibiliy v. the bigger boat/straight flush possibility?

This is obviously a board of small ranges, so a call isn't horrible. I'm thinking you lost value, though.

[iceman5]

Well after seeing the , I know I lost value

SB had about $120 left AFTER he bet the $75. I didnt think there was any way he would call a push with just the , so I guess I just called to try to get EP to overcall with the which I really think he had. He definately had a high .

I have to admit though that the $75 bet shocked me so much that it took me a while to figure out what the heck just happened and I didnt have time to think it thru clearly before the time ran out.

It was possible he made a mistake and didnt mean to bet that much and maybe EP had the and would call if I just called.
