Limit HE tournament. 100 people out of 200 left. I am in the BB
with T3000 and all fold to the button who has T800 left. We are
playing with 200 and 300 blinds and he raises. I sense by his
demeanor and body language that he is weak. The small blind folds and I have A4o. I call and put my opponent all in. My suspicions are correct. However I am outflopped and my opponents
T8o holds up. In effect I risked over 25% of my stack with a
very marginal hand at best and I really put myself in a bad
position after losing the hand. What does everyone think? Should I have folded preflop? How large does your stack have to be to call with just about anything in the blind in this type of situation? Thanks.
