[Closed] 77 on the Button with 15 Big Blinds left

Hey reece74!

The background info provided for the hand is a bit short but i'll do my best.
You're sitting with 15BB on the button and you say you called with 77.
Here you have many options depending on the circumstances, but calling is actually not one of them
If you're first in you generally openraise and go broke or fold against a blinds depending on their tendencies and your hand strength. 77 is usually good enough to call an allin for your stack (an 5-10BB allin such as the small blinds push is a must call). Alternatively you can openpush with 15BB, this usually works when your hand is not good enough to call a resteal but good enough for stealing. this largely depends on the opponents tendencies.

If somebody limped before you I prefer pushing allin straight because your hand is too strong to fold but your stack is too small to raise and play postflop.

If somebody raised it depends on their agression, position, stacksize and the table dynamics but generally against a late position raiser i push against early position i fold. calling is still not an option

To answer your question too:
I fold here, way too much action for your hand. But you should avoid spots like this

for me there is just 1 possible way of playing that hand.
thats openpush. with antes involved here (there should be antes normally). you have an M from about 7

you can openpush more or less this range against unnknown blinds

22+ Ax+ K3s+ K9o+ Q5s+ Q9o+ J7s+ J9o+ T7s+ T9o 96s+ 86s+ 76s 65s

with shorties and really lose stacks i would tighten that range def. a bit because they tend to call loser. to something like this:

22+ A7s+ A5s-A2s ATo+ K9s+ KJo+ Q9s+ J9s+ T9s

so why limp 77 here -> you give them the possibility to shove and then you have a very tough decision if there is even a 3rd player in the pot.

then if the sb or bb have resteal stacks as well you give them chance to 3bet-allin you with a lot of hands against you flip like 89s+ and a lot of ax hands or broadways. So what you like is maximizing your foldequity here and if they want to herocall smaller ax hands and pairs its fine too

greets

i guess hero limp behind other limper
so without knowing other players stacks is tough decision what do to preflop
as played hero has an easy fold with all that action in front of him
