Hero?

Obviously I'm not going to call here. What's the best play? Should I just shove it all in and hope I get one weak caller?

For some reason I can't get the converter to work right (not showing all 10 players) but basically there were 3 people who had already put out 55 in chips, plus myself and UTG who flat called the 15 chip min bet.

raise to 200-250

Yep, I make it 225 here.

You will see the raiser just shove here a lot of the time as calling leaves him with 490 and he will 'feel short'.

Well, I did shove it all in. Guess in hindsight I should have done what you guys suggest, but I think the result probably would have been the same. I got called by both UTG (who limped with QQ) and the initial raiser (who called the all in with the mighty AJ suited). I think if I re-raise here UTG probably shoves preflop anyhow. Flop brought K/10/x. Turn was the Q and I'm dead to a jack and even then I only would split. No Jack and I am out.

What I've found lately, at the 10s at least, is that if you push all in preflop with monsters like AA or KK they will call you quite often if there are a bunch already in the pot. I have been called with some real garbage.

You got two callers when holding aces. You couldn't have asked for more /images/graemlins/smile.gif

STOP BEING FREAKING RESULTS ORIENTED.

YOU GOT TWO FREAKING CALLERS WITH ACES. I USUALLY PICK UP 35 CHIPS IN BLINDS WITH ACES.

re-raise to 200 and push any flop.
