set?

protecting set or twopair. or you find yourself an atm machine

he reads you well. he had 88 or 66 for sure. he limped. then potted and then 5x re-raised? seems like he had the hand there. and i don't think he complete de small blind with 57 so its either 88,66,44 or some slowplayed AA, KK.
you don't have odds to call anyway.

Don't feel like pushing?

It doesn't look like he wants to get value from you. You're a 30 70 underdog against a set, 40 60 against straight, 50 50 against two pair. I think you have decent fold equity.

I'm not advocating pushing here, but it's definitely an option, especially if you know he's capable of making plays like that.

i did consider it tomson, just felt too sketchy.

i dont think i had any fold equity, BUT, thinking about it now, i do think i had better odds than i thought at the time. id say 40% overpair (AA KK QQ), 30% straight, 30% set/2 pair.

I think he's very capable of completing the sb with 57s. He just didn't want you drawing to the flush.

My guess is that he had 57s (s for suited, not for spades, allthough he could have that hand as well, but very unlikely).

if you push for $232 more out of your own stack, and the pot contains an implicit $182+$60+$12 = $254, you're getting 254:232 or 1.095:1, which is equivalent to 52.3:47.7, so let's assume you're in the worst-case scenario and you're up against a set.

70:30 vs. 52.3:47.7, you have some ground to make up with fold equity.
70:30 --> EV = -$16.60
to regain $16.60 in FE, he needs to fold (16.60/(60+12)) = 23% of the time.

you think he's folding around 20% of the time (since you're not always 70-30, you don't need quite 23%)?

i don't. plus you'd rather be making this huge push into an unraised pot when you're a good favorite, not nearly breaking even.

The reason why this is an easy fold, is because like myth said, you're probably 50/50 or worse here.

The biggest factor is though, that you only invested 12$ here. No biggie, just wait for a better opportunity, guy seems like a maniac.

I think there is a not so bad chance this might be a bluff, so you should take that into consideration.

And how much you invested should never matter if we're not talking about whether or not he is pot commited.

Whether you put 3$ or 30$ shouldn't influence your decision. A good situation is a good situation.

Well it might just be me, but I don't like playing for stacks with a marginal hand like this.
