Help with a hand

[Player004]

I'll put the whole hand in because I think I made the correct play (although I'm not sure about preflop). This is a situation where I have stacked off in the past and I think I am making progress but I was so tempted to call and regretted folding straight away. Seat 1: Button (€11.19) Seat 2: player04 (€22.26)

Seat 3: BB (€10.00) Seat 4: UTG (€6.02)

Seat 5: CO (€10.05)

player04 posts the small blind of €0.05

BB posts the big blind of €0.10

UTG won (€0.86), mucks

CO won (€0.00), mucks The call UTG automatically made me think he had a decent hand (I know not automatic at this level but is always in the back of my mind). I don't think just calling preflop is a bad play but I'm happy to hear other opinions. I think the bet post flop is pretty standard, there is a straight draw out there so I was trying to charge the maximum for chasing. If he'd have just called I would have bet the pot again to a non dangerous card. I wasn't expecting the shove and I can only imagine he has a pocket pair or a set. If this is the case I'm really beating 99. I suppose at this level a hand like 87s or even 65s would be possible and hes just hit a strong flop. This was at a non turbo table and I used up all my alloted time before folding and I think my cursor went from fold to call a number of times. In summary I'm only beating 99 or A8 so this has to be a fold. Right?

Re: Help with a hand No i really think discussing this kind of scenario against such terrible players that just shove like that is pointless. His range is any 8, maybe any 7 and then all better hands such as two pair. I would have snap called with 10s there, because his range is so wide. Against a good player and a small raise i would be much more worried. I think preflop play was fine, but i would have check raised the flop (i hate to lead out like that). I would call the shove - this is a cash game and i think a call is definately +EV against his raise and i would definately have called.
