Daily Hand Quiz


Game type: 2/4 NL cash, Heads up
Your image: n/a
Misc notes:
Your hand: 7♠7♣

The setup: Your table was 4 handed for quite awhile. You made a nice profit then it broke. As it broke another player sat in to play you heads up. In the first five hands he raised or reraised you $20+ preflop. You folded each of those five hands, and then on the 6th hand you are dealt sevens.

Action starts on the maniac in the SB and he bumps it up to 30. You:

agreed…take a flop, evaluate the texture, and let him blow his stack if things are looking good.

Just put him all-in. He made a foolish overbet with his raise to $30, so he’ll probably feel committed and call with some marginal/bad hands. No need to fool around here.

just call, then no set no bet, unless its a ropey low flop, aas anoon said prepflop ur gona be 50 50 v most hands.

I agree with the push, simply because this guy can call you with ANYTHING here if he’s a maniac; 22, a4s, 56s, etc., and your odds there are so good, along with the fact that scary flops will chase YOU away, not him, means I’d rather dump my $70 in with 77 than toss it in the muck or just call.

brandon is right, you see so much as one over on the board and you might get chased off. not to mention its possible he actually has it. youve played 6 hands now with this guy and hes not going anywhere after the flop. how can you expect to get a good idea of his hand by taking a flop? it’s a raise/fold situation. either you go all in or fold. i would go for the former.

So… if the blinds are 2/4 and you made a “nice profit”

But you’re sitting with 430?

Either you’re retarded because you consider $30 a nice profit in a 2/4 game,

Or you’re retarded because you sat without the maximum buyin.

Lose-lose. You might as well kill yourself now.

call he’s a maniac.
on the flop you can check and he’ll bet
then you can decide what to do

For whomever recommended calling in hope of hitting a set….can I play with you sometime? :D . It’s HU and you’re up against a maniac. You’re almost surely a favorite here….and if not he doubles through and u get to play deep stack poker with a short stack donkey. It’s an easy push for me here…of course I play a very LAG game The problem with just calling is you’re almost guaranteed to see an overcard…and if you won’t go anywhere unless you flop a set…well then you severely misplayed the hand. He’s only got $100 behind, so calling $25 + on a roughly 7.5-1 shot is very bad.

Chad


I’m sorry…he only has 70 behind. Which makes it even worse.
