I don't have the official hand history, but I'm at a standard passive table at .25/.50 on FT.

MP2 seems weak and not involved in too many hands. I have AQo in the SB and make a big enough raise that generally takes the pot down preflop vs. multi-limpers.

Of particular note: The button has been abusing his position, having raised 7 straight orbits.

Action goes like this:
MP1 calls, MP2 calls, BN calls, Hero (110 BBs) raises to $4 in SB, BB calls $4, MP1 folds, MP2 raises to $28 and is all in, BN folds.

Hero?
Given pot odds, I think this is a must call, given villain's likely holdings, which I assumed to be PP that is tired of getting pushed around and is afraid to play the flop.

My bet is repping AA/KK, do you give villain credit for a monster?

"This sure beats Super Mario Bros.!" is my ejaculation catch phrase.

Interesting, I definitely put him on a 55-TT range. He flipped QQ and I got lucky.
Playing big pots at small stakes.

$28 is alot for that limit and for someone who is playing passive u have to put him on a pair of 10's or higher at min. Your hoping he has a weaker ace but most of the time it is top 3 or 4 hand.

Thanks for replies, it should have been a fold but I just couldn't put villain on QQ+...I donk convinced myself it had to be a smaller pair and not AK/QQ+.

Some people limp JJ but to just call after a limper with QQ+ is weird. But it might have been a well-designed slowplay expecting the button to raise (it was totally weird that he didn't).
