Re: First hand of a home tourney. 87h on the button. You make the call.

Can I be first to guess that you are the tricky, aggressive player and the "hero" is the person who looked up your AA with 87s?

With 6/40 of your stack in the pot pre-flop, this is making a big commitment to get "all his chips". The reason to make this call is gambling. When you say that “there's a reasonable chance he might just be making a goofy first-hand bluff”, what hand do you hope he has? Best case he has AA or AK and falls in love with it on a bad flop for him. Make your stack 240BB and there could be talk about neat strategic moves.

Exactly what I told him, and then he gave me the line about how I'm a Numbers Guy while he plays position and other such crap, and how Dan and Gus would play this hand just like he did . . . of course, what he knows about poker he's learned from watching WSOP and WPT, so this is not exactly surprising. Still, I wanted to confirm I wasn't clinically insane.
