ASOP hand discussion

[Expunge]

How would play this hand differently from both players perspective.

Blinds 25/50

You 825 chips UTG with 33
Opp 2173 chips UTG+2 with 55

You call 50, Opp raises to 100, You call 50

Flop 3s5s8s

Check, Check

Turn 4c

You bet 250, Opp raises all in, you call 475.

fold preflop.

i dont like the fold here because that will leave me in the danger zone in just a couple of hands as the blinds double to 50/100. But it still may be the best option.

But it's better then the danger zone of zero chips.

IMHO...the 3 on the flop already doomed you. You only called preflop in hopes of getting your 3. You got it. Was it the spades that would have changed things? I think you move in on the flop. I only say that because of the 3 spades showing. Of course you should know that 55 doesn't lose, but beside that, I think you've already lost here and no matter how it shakes out (short of a 4th spade on the turn or river), all of your chips are going in.

If this is a full table, then fold pre-flop (instead of limping). If it is short-handed and the table is tight, think about raising, but fold anyways.

I fold to the reraise pre-flop on this one. I know it's only 50 more chips, but I absolutely want in for the minimum. I limp with the hope of lots of limpers after me, and fold to any reraise. That being said, once I see this flop, I lose all my chips.

With 33, I'd play the same way that you played pre-flop. Then I'd go all-in on the flop.

With 55, I wouldn't have raised pre-flop. I would have moved all-in on the flop, raised to all-in on the flop, or called all-in on the flop. No sense in letting someone catch their flush for free.

I was definately willing to go all in on the flop but i wanted to double up given that i hit my set. I checked and would have raised all in if he fired back at me. If he checked as well and no spade came on 4th street it was time to move.

7 players at the table.

To bring another perspective (from your opp)

I think after I see you check here on the flop, I move all in. You are likely to check with 2 spades, I know, but flopping a flush is an outside chance, and so I try to bully you. I have you covered so if I make a mistake, I still have ~1300 chips, but if you have only the Ace of spades, I make you pay to complete your flush....plus I have outs with a full house. I can not possibly put you on a bigger set...just like you couldnt put him on a bigger set.
