Steal try

Enrique · #1 04-19-2005, 01:43 AM

I have 10 600 chips.
The table is very passive, folding to a lot of preflop raises.
But the table may soon change, because a guy "DaPats" has recently won 2 huge pots and has a stack of about 60K.
The average is around 20K.

The blinds are 400-800 ante 50
So the LB is DaPats with 60K in chips.
The BB is sitting out.
I am in MP and look down at A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. And decide that is worth a raise because the BB is sitting out and the table is passive.
DaPats calls my 2100 raise.
And the flop comes 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
DaPatsbets 18K (I only have 9500) so it puts me all in.
Should I call?

Of course

looks fine as long as you call.

How did DaPats win those pots? If it was through solid and predictable play (getting the money in as a favorite), then folding starts to look better. If it was due to getting lucky after overplaying mediocre hands, then calling looks even better.

What I'm really trying to say is that you need a good read to fold this.
