$1/$2 cash home game, MP raises to $10 ($300 behind), I call button with JTs ($80) behind. Flop Tc3d2d. MP checks, I bet $20. MP shoves. What do I do?

I would fold..........PF. 40BB poker does not allow you to play speculative hands profitably.

If you had a read that villain is a total payoff wizard, maybe JTs is a call PF....but only maybe.

As played, call seems mandatory.

You give not much to go on. No reads/info/stats on the opponent and only a somewhat vague position designation.

That said .... at this point I would call. By my calculations you are getting 2 to 1. Therefore, you need to be good 33% of the time. There are a number of possible draws ... people in home games can be pretty dumb. You didn't tell us anything about the opponent .... but vs. an unknown in a random home game I call here pretty easily.


All that said .... the call that you made pre-flop is pretty bad in my opinion. With only $80, you don't have enough money to make enough money when you hit a hand to make up for all the times you call and lose. (This short paragraph is simplistic ... but I think gets an idea across, even if not in too great a way.)
