Hi All,

Was I too aggressive in calling all in with this hand? As background, this player won two all ins in the previous 6-7 hands with A-10o and 55. I believed I could easily have the best hand. That said, on the bubble maybe I should have waited for a better opportunity. Any opinions are certainly appreciated.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t300 (4 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

UTG (t5700)
Button (t1745)
Hero (t1355)
BB (t1200)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9/images/graemlins/club.gif, 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="CC3333">UTG raises to t1500</font>, Button folds, Hero calls t1205 (All-In), BB folds.

Flop: (t3155) 5/images/graemlins/club.gif, 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif, Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(2 players, 1 all-in) </font>

Turn: (t3155) Q/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(2 players, 1 all-in) </font>

River: (t3155) K/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(2 players, 1 all-in) </font>

Final Pot: t3155
<font color="#990066">Main Pot: t3010 (t3010), between UTG and Hero.</font> &gt; <font color="white">Pot won by UTG (t3010).</font>
<font color="#990066">Pot 2: t145 (t145), overbet by UTG.</font>

Results in white below: <font color="white">
UTG shows Ac Qd (three of a kind, queens).
Hero shows 9c 9s (two pair, queens and nines).

For me, this is an automatic push and/or call. I'd rather push, but I'll call here, too.

Hi Pitcher,

In this situation, being relatively short stacked as you are, I would consider the call clear cut.
