Bad call or just coolered - pot odds suck
LongshanksED:
$10 tourney on gala with $15k guaranteed ($19k was overall prize fund from 1900+ runners)
sitting on 4k in chips and approx 200 place with 650 runners left and on BB at 100/200 level
UTG makes it 400 , SB folds and even though this looks like a cheap steal and i should fold as im holding the powerhouse 53o i call with 3/1 pot odds
flop K57 rainbow
i think and lead out for 400 as a semi bluff and if im raised i fold but he flat calls
turn card 3
i bet out for 1k and he flat calls
im think what he might have as there is no flush possible but a couple of straight possibilties if he was stealing with A4,A6, plus he could have AK or maybe K7/K5
im discounting 55 as i have the case 5 but you never know
im still not too commited to the hand but 2 pair is looking good
river 3
full house 3"s&5"s
i bet out 1k and he goes all in for his 5k left - i still have around 2k left but cant fold
he turns over pocket kings
:o ???
LongshanksED:
also i cant fault the villians play - i"d have probably done the same
AMRN:
gotta ignore pot odds sometimes - just think what an UTG player might be min-raising with, and then consider whether you really want to play 53o out of position against him
LongshanksED:
watching as he played he was min raising everytime on the button - unopened, multiple limpers and even when someone opened 3/4 X BB so i couldnt really put him on any move except stealing
hi_am_chris:
But you said in this hand he was UTG and not on the button? Not sure hed be stealing from UTG but 5 3 off is def still too weak to call with, just isnt much insentive to play it
