Final Pot: t31662

In 10 hands played together at the table, villan had open raised once and went to showndown with TT. Other than that, all folds. I think we're in the money at this point but don't remember. Can anyone justify a call here? Would you tend to call more if he VP$IP 13% or 26%?

I was at your table this hand. I would have pushed preflop, but yes I would have called when faced with the decision.

Guess I was too greedy and looking for more than just the blinds... what's your reasoning for calling? Odds? I figured he might play a mid ace like that.. AJ,AT.

[MLG]

The question is whats the higher chance, him having the A, or you being able to get to 18x after folding here and taking the blinds, leaving you at 4.5x.

[TripleQ]

True.. upon further reflection I suppose it does look like a classic stop and go with a low/mid pair. Ah well, lots to learn.
