I have $90 in front of me. Opponent has me covered.

I'm dealt [Kd] in the BB. couple of limpers. I raise to $5. Only UTG calls.

UTG is very loose and aggressive. He's moved all-in a couple of times in the last hour on flops....but no one has called him yet. So I don't know if he's holding the nuts or BSing.


FLOP $11.50
[6d][8d]

I've flopped TPTK with the nut flush draw. I bet $8. UTG puts me all-in. The pot is $91.50 and it's $80 for me to call.


Who calls and who folds...and why??? Results later.

I normally avoid hands like these where I have to make a big call without being very sure Im ahead, but based on your descrpition of him, I call this one.

There are quite alot of hands where a LAG might go all in here, especially if he keeps making huge all in overbets. He could easily have [Jd]. Even if he has 2 pair, you're even money.

I suggest sitting on the other side of him next time.

It doesn't sound like LAG villian is doing it with nothing. Kenny said he did it "a couple times in the last hour" which means he's not doing it all that often. He could have AJ with but he could just as easily have [Td] or 88 and then you are a heavy dog. I don't know, I just don't like putting in all my money here when I don't actually have a read on UTG. We know he's aggressive, but he hasn't shown his cards, so I would wait til someone else calls his allin first to see if he is doing it with the goods or not. Anyone agree with me?

Well I did call. I thought there was a good chance I was dominating...And if not..I still had tons of outs!!

I hit a diamond on the turn and won. He held [6s] for middle two pair. I looked it up on the odds calcultor and iwas 51 to 49, me in the lead.

If I had to do it again...I think I'd still call. This guy was a little too loose and maniac like for me to throw away the TPTK with nut flush draw.

Well at least I was right about him not doing it with trash. I see aggressive people making that move and usually if they are decent they are making it with good hands. I guess your call is good since you have a lot of outs against just about any hand but I still am not convinced that it's as easy as call as everyone says. Anyway results wise it worked out so nice hand.

I'd maybe have had him on a baby flush, set or two pair, with the possibility of A[d]J[h] etc. Bit marginal but I would certainly have considered calling. Hope he's now on your best friends list
