I think the BB's stack might have been a touch too large for the second one. Comments?

Default Re: Standard allins against the shortstack?

i dont particularly like this play. at best you get a fold. but at worst you:
1, get called, lose, drop a fair few chips (over 3/4 in hand one and about 3/4 in hand two)
1b, get called, double though the short stack, and take his place

you may get called and win. but im not likeing this play at all. on pot odds, i can sort of see reasons. but the play is bad in a dollar sence.

in my opinion, you could be trying to prise defeat from the jaws of victory.
