Sucked in by the odds....

Table was pretty tight (especially the two I went to showdown with) and the action preflop here was WAY out of the ordinary. I called the first time hoping to catch my set and de-stack the original raiser... then the insanity began... Is there a fold in there anywhere? Should I have raised at some point preflop?

This is a hand where I believe everyone who went to showdown played post flop correctly. I just got luck that my set held up.

What do you guys think?

I'd play it exactly the same. I think your preflop play here is fine.

The first one may have been a little loose but I was playing set it or forget it post-flop... If I did set it I could take the guys whole stack since I had previously pushed him off a 15$ pot with a bluff and showed him my busted straight draw. He was ripe for the picking :twisted:

Even if your against Aces, Kings, Queens, its still a good idea to call, knowing if you flop your seven, you'll probably quadruple your stack.

Yah, but if AA and KK are out there, you're not seeing a flop with this kind of preflop action (one player raises, several callers, a minraiser and several callers). AA and KK have plenty of opportunity to push preflop and they would have.

yeah, that action was pretty weak if there was a high pocket pair there...

Yesterday I witnesses exact same thing at NL 200!

7 limpers for $2 one guy raises to $10 5 call then one other guys raises to $20. $140 pot on a flop of K 7 T with a flush draw. UTG goes all -in for $130 and gets called by 4 people (who he had all covered) He had trip 7s and dodged : the 2 aces, all the flush cards, all the straight cards for $400 pot :P

So someone had pocket aces and didn't push after the 5 calls of 10$. WTF?

This one hand nicely recovered my tuition from moving up to 20$ SnGs yesterday.

The $1.50 call from early position was a little trickey. If you know
your on a LAG table, with lots of callers its not a bad play. The rest is standard.
