My bust hand - right play?
$600 deepstack at WSOP. Level 14. Had about 20 bb.
Raise in middle position with 10,10 red. Chip leader in late position calls.
Flop is A,7,2 all hearts. Chip leader shoves.
I’m thinking he’s either bullying me and I’m ahead or he has Ax and I’m drawing to a 10 or heart. So I call.
He shows 2,2 no heart. Board runs out poorly for me and I take the walk of shame.
With one over and the 10 of hearts on a monotone heart board, I feel like calling was correct.
But was it?

Are you saying you punted off 18bb with a ten high FD?
Fair enough!

Seven main possibilities. He's bluffing. He is bluffing but has a better flush draw. He has Ax. He has Ax but the x is a better flush draw. He has a set. He has a flush you can beat with the 10. He has a flush you need to fill to beat. You need to decide what is range is here. Also is he a massive chip leader or say only 40 bb. You said you raised pre-flop; how much?
What was the size of your preflop raise?
What was the flop action? You act first and you skip straight to the chip leader shoving.
He probably shoved because he was afraid of a heart.
Kind of weird read that he was bullying with the overbet. Need to evaluate how you hand does against the ranges he could be doing this with, rather than worrying about being bullied.
At low stakes it can be for protection like it was, but could be a semibluff with Kh or something. You are either flipping or way behind. You are even against KhQx. Seems like an easy fold.
Sorry, I raised pre 2.5x, he called. I bet about 40% pot on flop, he shoved. I probably had 10-12 bigs behind on the call.
He had been bullying the table A LOT and had probably closer to 100bb

OK, if he raised allin it maybe be a call, because you were getting maybe 1.8-1 pot odds. I am confused though. If you had 20xBB to start, then you should have had 15xBB left, not 10-12xBB.
