Hey guys, got myself into a bit of a rough spot (I think) on a Merge $10 Deepstack Rebuy. Villain was a huge fish, running something like 36/22, and had faced 3 CBs, folded to one, called one, and raised one.

I thought all of my options really sucked here. I felt like I was way too strong to fold, but calling would also be bad since most turn cards are going to be gross for us.

What would you guys do?

Merge, $10 Buy-in (125/250 blinds, 25 ante) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 9 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite. View Hand #12992822

BTN: 36,448 (145.8 bb)
SB: 15,981 (63.9 bb)
BB: 9,716 (38.9 bb)
UTG+1: 14,587 (58.3 bb)
UTG+2: 9,321 (37.3 bb)
MP1: 20,803 (83.2 bb)
MP2: 17,641 (70.6 bb)
Hero (MP3): 22,577 (90.3 bb)
CO: 13,680 (54.7 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with 7

4 folds, Hero raises to 599, CO calls 599, 3 folds

Flop: (1,798) 8

(2 players)
Hero bets 1,149, CO raises to 2,450, Hero ???

I'd fold. we could be dead, or close to dead, or at best drawing to a horribly low FD. W8 for tp or a better hand PF to bust this guy imo.

Edit: guess its within reason to simply call and see what falls and re eval OTT and c/f to most of his plays. seems kinda weak though against someoen this agro.

most people here should learn omaha so that they realize that a lot of hands in poker that look good are terrible

Why so much on the flop?

It's not that big of a bet is it? I get what ur saying (we're gonna b/f, why invest more than we need to) but is 65% of the pot really that out of wack?

Drawy flops, especially out of position, I usually bet a bit bigger. Considering we're pretty deep, I thought it was pretty reasonable.

But it seems like I was kind of overvaluing my hand here. Thanks guys.

ez fold. i like the sizing, you rep an overpurr or something and you discourage callers with some xQh hands.

This deep, don't see the harm in calling and seeing a turn card. It could pay off massive dividends. We'll feel good with our straight flush, one of two 7s, any 6, and a heart isn't all bad for us either though would require some finesse to avoid getting stacked. What, we're getting like 4-1 or something and can afford it. Let's see a turn!
