He calls. 60k now in the pot, you have 70k he has 120k. Flop comes down . You are first to act. What do you do (this is key moment #2)?

If you decided to check, or bet (but didn't go all in), he now puts you all in. (this is key moment #3). Do you call or fold?

Very curious to hear your responces on how you all would have played this, thanks.

I am prolly a lil late with this.. but, Im not entirely sure your preflop bet is 100% correct. Hard to say with knowing the type of player your up agaisnt.. have to give him the benefit of the doubt tho, since he bested 248 others... with that said..

If you had went 4x the big blinds. would that not have reduced his pot odds signicantly enuff to make him think about calling with only a fair hand?

as for the flop.. you have to first ask yourself, what could have that beats you.. a j 10 or 3 and he is ahead, any pocket pair. he called your bet instead of raising, so prolly not holding AK KK or the like... you need to eithre go all in to take the pot right there... he may fold if he thinks your with QQ or bettre.. or make a value bet to test 'the waters'... I would have prolly went all in..

I wouldn't check that flop.. so, I can't address #3...

and keep in mind, I am not a winning player, just a break even player..
