Chips: 896 | | | I think it was a questionable call. You pretty much knew you were going to get called. After your all-in there was 2200 in pot. Raiser only had to put in another 500. 4.4:1 odds he's gonna be right to call w/ anything. Wait for 1st in vig. |

Chips: 594 | | | 2 limpers and a raise of 600, you had about 0 fold equity. As others have said, typically that raise indicates a hand that has you beat. fold, you only have the small blind left to pay and then you have another round. |

Anyways, ATo was the best hand you had seen in a while, your M < 5. I just don't think you are in a position to be tight anymore. I say good push.
I was in the same tournament, and was doing really well until the first break. I actually had to sit out for about 15 minutes to put my daughters to bed. When I came back, I was short stacked, but got on a TP + straight draw + flush draw hand, pushed all-in and lost to a full house. Finished 77th! Hopefully we'll see some better luck tonight! |

Chips: 53 | | Pager, what name do you play under at Powerplayer (I'm Murf2073)? I've started to become addicted to Freerolls... Betfred has about 5 a day, but their prizes are horrible... two top 75 finished (out of 1000) yielded $0.38  . Hope to see you at the tables, and good luck on Sunday's Freeroll (they are doubling the prize to 1k, with 300 max entrants IIRC). |

Chips: 111 | | | Murf, if you like freerolls, try party. They have two $5000 freerolls every day at 18:20 and 2:10. First place pays $1,000 and all you need is a real money account, no other qualification need. 50th place pays $50. Blinds go up every 15 min. |

Chips: 552 | | | I agree with what a lot of the others said. Its an easy fold.
The whole idea with being a short stack and pushing is when you can be first to move at the pot. The raise could indicate anything but at best I would hope for a coin flip. I think its an easy fold and just shove in when you can be first to do it. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
