Hey all,
$30 stars 1 table s&g today. 5 players left, 3 spots pay. Interested in thoughts on the following hand...my thoughts follow...I'm in seat 5 playing the Hero.
Table '1033487 1' Seat #7 is the button
Seat 2: (3695 in chips)
Seat 5: Hero (2390 in chips)
Seat 7: (1485 in chips)
Seat 8: (3140 in chips)
Seat 9: (2790 in chips)
Seat 8: posts small blind 75
Seat 9: posts big blind 150
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Hero [Qd Qs]
Seat 2: folds
Hero: raises 300 to 450
Seat 7: raises 1035 to 1485 and is all-in
Seat 8: calls 1410
Seat 9: folds
Hero thinks....folds.
Here's my thought process....I put the initial push on a pocket pair, and figure I have him covered...the caller though, worries me: I figure him for AK and decide I'm better off letting them go to war, and wait out to make the money. As it turns out they both had weaker hands than I figured, Seat 8 wins w/ AQo against Seat 7's QKo. I waited out and cashed.
Anyhow, was this an easy fold? Easy all-in? Any replies appreciated, especially interested in thoughts w/ regards to why to fold/push considering stack size of all involved and the bubble situation.
Thanks.
