    getting my swell on

    Default turned straight vs psycho shove monkey.

    villain obv isnt good but wtf? if he is free rolling this seems like a pretty clear fold. maybe since it has two suits out there this is a fold? i know marshall snaps this lol, but what does everyone else do?

    idk this is a stupid comment, it was just meant to say facing open shove like this. no real content to it.

    I call here. I think people overshove free rolls when its obvious that they probably have the same hand as their opponent, but they also have a flush draw.

    I don't think villain can put you on a straight here at all, so I don't think this is one of those spots where he'd be like "omgshove he has a straight and i'm freerolling him". As opposed to if the turn was a 3, for example, and an A would be a much more likely holding for you.

    I snap call this. he can be doing this with all two pairs, sets, afraid of letting you draw for free or something. I think this is a 3 with a FD a lot less often. I also wouldn't expect 36, but its a limped pot so who knows.

    this seems like Axs, so i guess it could be As3s but thats only one hand and i agree with griffey that a 3 is unlikely. i think i call this.

    good assessment bode, he had A3, but fortunately no suits.
