HERO ???


Villain has played ultra tight until two or three hands ago. No showdowns.

I don't get it...
when you raised it to 600, what were you planning on doing?

if you aren't going to call, why raise, and if you're going to call, why not push instead of raising?

[Wevie]

Hey, good point. I completely missed that. Wow.

Of course I was planning on pushing. er....nm

[BadMongo]

You're committed to this pot the second you raise to 600. You have to call. This is why you're supposed to push when you have <10BBs.

[11t]

Why you aren't just pushing this, I will never know.

I'd probably fold unless villain was a complete maniac.

[Maulik]

Personally, I would have pushed, to eliminate someone coming over the top of me. You've already committed yourself by raising a large % of your stack. You can't muck now.

[Maulik]

I'd probably fold unless villain was a complete maniac.

I would almost never fold in this spot in a $10+1

[11t]

If villain is ultra tight you are throwing your chips away by calling here. You have 6xBB and there is a stack that is shorter than you after folding.

Calling here versus a tight player is suicidal, however I would just have pushed and have him call with whatever he was tryiing to trap with.

You are never pot committed on the bubble /images/graemlins/wink.gif
