Surely we raise here?

If we flat call its to shove any turn card right?

any 5 or club? sickening amount of outs where is the raise option?

Any 5, club, 7, or 8. Given the action, if an 8 hits, it’s unlikely villain has a 5, so two pair is probably good, even with the 4-straight on the board.

I’d raise here. That flop may have hit the v who raised 6x p/f. V may have a mid-pair, overs, 55, or even a set. Hero is ahead or has outs to all of those. Shove if v r-r … can always re-buy if you fall short.

is it a trick question?

surely we raise here? That’s the best way to find out where we stand. If re-raised I am throwing it away; if called I am probably but not certain to be ahead and betting the turn.

“If I am re-raised I am throwing it away”

LOL!~ That’s what I was thinking.

More along the lines of… “If I am re-raised I am licking my chops”

Why isn’t raising an option.

[Reply]

I voted “fold” cuz if I am not raising here I really shouldn’t be playing a $50 rebuy.
