thing is AFTER the flop small blind has the WORST position at the table.you have NO information. in this case i would have flopped trips & now i absolutely HAVE to bet them & BUY information ! if i get reraised i most likely have just run into trip Js !! now i'm drawing practically dead. but i'm not reasonably sure of that either because what actually happened was that the raiser had AK spades & 2 spades hit on the flop. he just might raise with a nut flush draw, seeing as there is not a pair on the board & at that point there would be way too much money in the pot to turn the trip 5s loose. as it was that pot grew to nearly $100 when it was all said & done.

well i ll tell u how i got creamed by a player with pocket 5s.
i had 490,000 chips and he had 780,000. im holding KK and raise the 6000 chip bb to 58,ooo. the dealer reraises me all in. i call. he turns 55. flop comes 5 5 7.good night.lol

was that in a live tourney ?????? if so did you wait for him outside, beat the crap out of him & steal that horseshoe he had up his a s s ?? just kidding....why do some guys have such a difficult time folding very small pocket pairs?? seriously, with 55 preflop you can beat all of THREE pocket pairs 2s 3s & 4s WHOOPEEEEE too bad the turn/river didn't come KK now THAT would be something to lol about !!

I'd be folding faster than superman on laundry day

i thought about calling. i really did. for about 3 seconds !!! but i know the guy & i figured at best i had a very very small advantage with the pocket pair. yeah. i would have won a really nice pot if i had called, but man with bob raising & brian behind me (not to mention knowing i'm 1st to act after the flop ) i just couldn't pull the trigger !

I would have played it the exact same way. You knew who you were playing with and you had a good read on your opponents. It's only rough to think back on it because of the way it played out.

Think this would be an easy lay down no questions asked.

I like 55, but that's tough. Implied odds are huge, and you hit.

With that many callers in the pot like that, and no one except your buddy really popping the pot, I would have gotten in there.

Reading on, it looks like you hit, and hit hard... oh well.

Admittedly, 55 is tough in early position.
