Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font>
<font color="#C00000">BB (t1815)</font>
<font color="#C00000">Hero (t1785)</font>
MP (t1180)
Button (t2470)
SB (t750)
Preflop: Hero is UTG with 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, A/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t600</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to t1815 (All-In)</font>, Hero calls t1185 (All-In).
What does everyone think about the original raise and the call? I was just pick up the blinds since they were getting pretty big.
After the BB went all in there was 2715 (300 blinds + my 600 raise + 1815 from BB) in the pot with 1185 to call. My reasoning at the time was I am getting better than 2 to 1 so I have to call given that we are five handed and he could have a pretty good variety of hands.
I guess I really have two questions:
1) Was the call correct?
2) Given that the call was correct, would it have been better to just go all in for the origninal bet?
