Why won't the hand-converter work for me?!!
First let me set up the hand. Just 2 hands earlier the Villian (sally_) raised from LP (4x to 16K), and I pushed from SB. She folded and I showed pocket 77s. She is surely feeling short now as she has only 6BBs left in front of her.
Seat 1: Sinners (33,830 in chips)
Seat 2: Crawfdad (36,949 in chips)
Seat 3: fentdog (50,204 in chips)
Seat 4: aznxbandit (30,654 in chips)
Seat 5: IRISH420 (9,450 in chips)
Seat 6: shabirr (55,811 in chips)
Seat 7: sally_ (26,697 in chips)
Seat 9: SoBeDude (86,323 in chips)
Seat 10: chico73 (44,140 in chips)

4 fold and sally_ raises to 16K. This of course makes her pot committed as there is no way she'll fold for her last 10K in chips into this pot.
I'm confident that I can get it heads-up if I reraise here (of course unless someone in the blinds wakes up with a monster).
But she's bet in such a way that kinda leads me to think she wants a call. She knows the chip leader is not afraid to play back at her, so how is 44 against her range of hands?
And if I double her up, how much fear-factor do I lose when my stack takes a big hit? its over 30% of my stack if I push and lose to her. And why would she raise more than 50% of her stack? she'd be better off pushing here with her short stack, so doesn't this raise seem to indicate she wants action?
I thought about it and folded, thinking I can find better spots. Of course lady luck had a different plan for me, as AJ was outflopped by AT, then KQ was outflopped by KJ, then my steal from the SB with Q4 ran into TT in the BB.
Opinions?
