View Full Version : Against the Big Stack


12-13-2005, 02:08 AM
$10 tourney at Full Tilt. 250 runners down to 30. I have 22000 in chips which is currently 4th, 1st is 26000. This is my third hand on a new table. Blinds are 100/200 with an ante. UTG+1 (medium stack) raises to 800. MP Chipleader calls. I'm on the button with AKs and pop it to 3000. All fold to 1st raiser who folds, then MP pushes all in for 26000. I'm guessing whatever my correct play is it is easy but do I
A) easy fold because I'm going to make it fairly deep with my current stack.
B) Call because if I win I have 1/6 of the chips in play.

No reads as it it is 3rd hand on new table. Although I called a small stack all in on my BB with J9s (it was only 1000)

Looks like a middle pair, but with the chips already in, I'm calling to race him. Anyway, it's waaay more likely he's unpaired than that he's got AA/KK. You'd love to run into AQ here.

I think it's an easy call, but I've never been one to shy away from the big stack.
