easy decision early on? Call or fold?

(1/4) > >>

deanp27:
I posted this on my other forum and got some interesting answers, just wondered whether some different views would be found on here. I got drawn with my good friend and poker adversary Bas (John Spinks) on this table and got this toughie quite early - easy fold?

Virgin Festival (same structure as APAT)
Level 2 Blinds 50/100
My stack around 11k (10k starting)
Others stacks similar - my oppo had about same as me
Bas is UTG with around 2.7k (his own fault)

I get  qd qs on the button.

I had been fairly quiet early but recently took down 4 pots in the last round and was starting to get involved a bit more. I had not reraised anyone at this stage.

Lady UTG+3 raises to 600 after Bas UTG limps- now this looked odd straight away as she had recently raised much smaller than this with KK (3bb in SB after i had limped) so it helped define her range a bit.

Guy in MP calls 600 (i put him on a mid ace as he had been cold calling alot of raises with these hands).

I raise to 2200 Bas looks at me and folds and lady calls - MP thinks and folds. Pot 5250.

Flop  4h 6h 7h and Lady pushes her stack of 8250 in.

Call or fold?

any other comments on my preflop also welcome. Also reasons and hand ranges would be useful. Does a lack of a heart in my hand make this an easy fold?

AMRN:
easy fold - she has either bigger pair, or AK with Ace heart

what hands you put her on preflop?

I believe her to be a fairly "straightforward" type of player (not bad but not particularly tricky)

AMRN:
AK - the fact that she had previously raised smaller with KK sugests she is less inclined to want to see a flop with an unmade hand. The flat call of your reraise supports this also.   she certainly doesn"t have AK suited in hearts, but suspect the ace is a heart

will post more thoughts when i get a few more comments.
