you're really only ahead of JJ here and the very remote possibility of AT being played by a donkey. i'm inclined to fold this one after his flop checkraise.

[radioheadfan]

This being 100NL on Party, you have to consider the possibility the opponent is indeed a donkey. The purpose of this post is what to do is this spot against a TOTAL UNKNOWN on the Party 100NL tables. Against opposition you know, this is pretty cut and dry. Against an unknown on Party 100NL, it's not so simple.

[elus2]

i fold unless i have a read that he is a donkey. what's the point of risking your whole stack unless you can tell within a reasonable margin of error that you are ahead here. if he wins the hand by bluffing then good, move on. you play 100 hands/hour versus these guys on the 6max tables they will invariably make a mistake again and hopefully by then you have a much more accurate model of your opponent's behaviour.

He does have a pretty big stack.

He raised a lot preflop.

He check-raised you

I would fold.

Although, The mega all-in seem weird to me. Anyone care to analyse why he did that(400 all in when he could just 100)?

Oh what did he has?

[ghostface]

the size of the all in bet is not significant. he loses the same and wins the same either way.

[elus2]

oh this was full ring. so 60-70 hands/hr versus these guys. also i find full ring players to have a smaller range of raising hands preflop.

[Izenra]

I am not a poker newbie /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

No I mean why betting 400 when he could bet 100? I think he was protection something ( he makes a scary bet, although it is the same in the end)

seems like a good spot to try to double through if you can. You're at a table with a couple of double the buy in big stacks and you're still at the buy in. roll the dice if you lose rebuy and go at them again.
