PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $1.00 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Hero ($100)
UTG ($63.15)
MP ($119.05)
CO ($71.95)
Button ($109)
SB ($103.70)

Preflop: Hero is BB with J, 7.
UTG calls $1, MP calls $1, 1 fold, Button calls $1, SB raises to $2, Hero calls $1, UTG calls $1, MP calls $1, Button calls $1.

Flop: ($10) 7, J, 6 (5 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $3, UTG calls $3, MP folds, Button raises to $10, SB raises to $91.7, Hero ?

Did the donk bet thing, expecting a re-raise...didn't expect this.

Newish to table, but I've seen some loose re-raising, so I felt I could donkbet and re-raise or kj someone on a draw pretty hard

hmm im pretty sure i call here.

I think sb is a donk on an overpair possibly a flush draw. meh he could have a set I wouldn't worry about utg and expect him to fold. Button likely has aj/kj and is raising because of your insufficient flop raise.

What are we folding to here? It seems unlikely someone is holding the case 7's let alone the jacks, i guess its possible someone hit their 666, but i dont think you can just assume someone has a set here when your holding top two.

It is pretty rare in 6 max to flop top two and run into a set. I think i call but i wouldnt be too suprised if sb flipped over a set. just meh and reload.

i usually think the "fold pre-flop if you're not willing to get all-in on this flop" posts are stupid, but it's true here

fold. fold. fold. Pot is small and SB is showing tons of strength. You bet out, someone else raises, and SB check/bombs. AND you have to act before BTN. One of them has you beat.

Minraise from SB is bigger than AA/KK, but it doesnt much matter. We're either way behind or flipping. Pot is small, weve got like 4bb invested..

I don't know about this. SB's play is really weird. He's min raising preflop with all those players in the pot, he knows its gonna go multiway madness. Then he checks a drawy flop multiway? There's no way a strong overpair is playing like this, and IF he would play a strong overpair like this, he sucks enough that I'd call anyhow.

I'd say SB has at best AKclubs. As for BTN.. thats another story. I agree with Euph that button could have us beat, but I think this is potentially a draw/strong jack often enough, and we have outs, that I stack with this.

in a 300 pot with 95 invested, 47.4% equity, therefore eV= $47.20

this is an EXCELLENT situation. How often in poker do you get to make a +47bb decision? Not often.

That makes some serious assumptions, but yes if we're all in on a 50/50 getting 2:1 we're +EV obv.

This is an easy fold imo. There's only $26 of dead money and you have two left to act behind you. Although they may call with worse, you can't assume that. I fold pre-flop too.

I stopped folding in spots like this a long time ago. Too often I saw really bad AA-KK play vs QJo at showdown. Not saying the Button has QJo here, he probably has a flushdraw but you get what I mean.

Good analysis. I actually had a similar spot with AK/oc/fd that I posted from the same night. I don't know why I didn't think along those lines.

Renton, The guy would have to be an absolutely mad to play aces like this -- minraise out of the SB for a sure 5 way pot, then a flop check? I've just never seen an overpair minraise out of the SB at 100NL--I've seen crap like that at lower buy-ins, maybe there's more donks than I realized at this stake? I just don't see how this is an overpair. I think if he's minraising out of SB w/ aa, he's going to continue his slowplay and probably minraise button.

The more I think about it, the more it seems like calling is correct, even though it would have to be a pretty badly played hand by SB overall.
