Gambling too much?

[suited_ace]

The fish have been kicking my ass with this play. I had been laying down in this spot as my standard play, just to find out that they were pushing back w/ hands that I had dominated, usually as a 2 to 1 favorite.

What is your play in this spot?

You probably should have raised a little more , maybe to 350 or so.

For me, this is an easy fold to the reraise.

Edit: If you were in the blinds, I think it's okay.

I'm the BB in this hand. What do you think is ok, calling the re-raise or the raise amount?

[lorinda]

The raise amount (There is a case for taking the free flop too)

I don't like calling the reraise, the pot isn't worth the trouble.

Yeah... I stupidly auto-called his push, knowing I was a favorite. At least I was right about being a favorite...

your call wasnt too bad, although probably not necessary to gamble there. Your smart ass reply when he sucked out on you was horrible, even if it was accurate.

Ugggghh. You have about 18 BB remaining. You are still the second biggest stack. Villain is the only one that can bust you. If calling off all your chips with AQo in that spot isn't bad, I'm not sure what is.

i should change that a bit.. based on the laggish nature of the villain here (not apparent from the post).. the call isnt TOO bad, although i would have folded.

[pokerlaw]

I fold this one, even to a LAG - he is the big stack and there is no need to gambol IMO.

on a side note, I find it funny that someone's screename was Giga_debt.

[AA suited]

i would have raised to 400.

i would have folded to the all-in. AQ is not a hand to gamble 20BB with. hell, aks isn't a hand to call 20BB with when not ITM.

I would def fold also, and not raised PF because of the villains laggishness.

p.s. ever since I switched to the Giga_debt account I have dropped ~70 pts ROI at the 20s and ~45 ROI at the 50s (granted i was on quite a heater in July)... do you think its a coincidence? /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[microbet]

I fold eventhough he has 'golf' in his screen name.

What was your smart-ass comment in the chat? Ok, nevermind.
