1/2 home game, been at table for about an hour and played 1 hand with the villain where he bet into me on turn & river when i had nut flush (not sure what he had). Villain loses first buyin on a standard flip spot and rebuys for $200. My image so far is pretty tight, winning 2 pots with the nuts and picking up small pots here and there

Hero ($240) utg raises to $10 with QcJc, villain ($200) button and big blind call ($41)

Flop 8c 10c Kd

Hero leads for $25
Villain raises to $75 ($115 behind) button & bb fold.... Hero???

Hard to say without a description of V1. If he is a tight straight forward player than his range is narrow, typically two pair or sets. Both of which he's not folding to a jam. I call and reevaluate the turn.

Am i ever folding? In the back of my mind i was thinking there was a chance he was a bit tilted but i wasnt sure

I don't think k I'm ever folding, we are getting almost 3:1 on a call. If he has 88 or another set which is worst case for us than we are ~40%. If turn is blank we are still ~30% and if he jams 115 into 216 than we are getting just under 3:1 again.

I wouldn't fold in this spot. I'd probably shove in this spot but that's me. Most likely villain has AK.

You have an edge if villain has AK and less so if villain has a set. So KK and AK are the mostly what you're looking at based on PF play etc.

Calling and seeing the turn isn't so bad either but hitting a club is an action killer, so if you're hoping to stack hitting the straight is way better.

V wasn't the raiser, at least that's not how I took it, with that being said I'd discount KK and possibly AK(although very possible).

A club on turn could kill the action but with V having half his stack in, I could easily see him calling/jamming most turns.

Yes you would be folding. Pre flop.

Try running your hand in an equity calculator against V's range.

To me, your options at this point are ranked as this, without further HH and reads.
Jam = fold >>>> call

The deciding factor between jamming and folding is what his raising range is.

- against a bigger flush draw, your hand does very poorly
- against a set, you are behind but there is enough money in the pot to make it + ev
- against two pairs, your hand is still slightly behind but should jam for the same reason as above.
- against a one pair hand, it is a jam for sure as you are ahead equity-wise.
- against a smaller flush draw, you are miles ahead and want all the money in there asap.

It is probably hard for you to get enough information on his raising range in the hour that youve been there so far. You can do a ev calculation based on that range, but at this point I'm leaning towards a shove.

Villain called 10$ utg+1

I ended up shoving and he had Kc6c

As played, shove. When raising in early position, you need to raise more pre-flop ($15+). Also, fold pre-flop unless you are playing short handed. You have terrible position with Q high.

$50 to call for a $130 pot.
Round it up to 3:1.
Pot odds are 25%

You have 15 outs for straight or flush.
Rule of 2/4 = 30%/60%
I'm a fish. I would shove.
