Re: Who calls in this scenario?
It's early and your stack is decent enough, so no gamble for me. To your other thread, I have been using the 'suspicious' all-in on the flop and have done very well with it so far. I've only really tried it at the $22s, and down there they just can't help themselves [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] So it may be a trap, but I think you are right in that you are probally ahead.

Re: Who calls in this scenario?
i haven't been playing very long but in my limited experience (at 5+1's and 10+1's)once they start to go all in, they do it a lot. you can wait and bust him on another hand.

Re: Who calls in this scenario?
As you can see I folded here.
What the implications are is that it's a 244 call into a 494 pot, giving me 2:1 pot odds with less than 1/3 of my stack. Does that change anyone's answer? |

Re: Who calls in this scenario?
as raptor can testify, i made a few calls like this today. maybe a few fewer chips, or for a slightly smaller chunk of my stack. eh, depends on the mood i'm in, and how easy i think one set of blinds or so is going to be to steal back.

Re: Who calls in this scenario?
No need to gamble here. Too many chips to call and not even upside.

Re: Who calls in this scenario?
I'd want to call here but losing would leave me in a desperate spot. So at what point do you normally say that its too risky? Or does any one say that he is already in a precarious position and maybe its time to gamble it up?

Re: Who calls in this scenario?
meh, how different really are 850 (800 post blinds) and 600 (550 post blinds) in some situations? if you think you're going to be able to pick up a set or two of blinds pretty quickly, this is mildly interesting. to the "no need to gamble" person: why not? it's not many chips, winning the hand puts you in decently better shape than you are in, losing the hand doesn't destroy your chances.
how many hands til the blinds go up? is the guy to your left and two to your left generally tight? there's more to many hands than the strength of your cards. citanul edit: could this guy have any 2 cards? or is he too tight for his own good? |

Re: Who calls in this scenario?
Well, I put this guy on any two cards. If I remember correctly, he lost the lionshare of his stack on the previous hand or two.
So you're saying you like this overlay here? |
