Re: Short and sweet. Do you call?
[ QUOTE ]
7 left, blinds 50-100. I raise my 77 to 300 with ~ 1200 chips from EP. BB calls with ~ 3600 chips. BB goes all-in on flop of 2S,JD,5S. No read on BB, do you call? [/ QUOTE ] Well TD, you raised 25% of your stack preflop, and now there's 72% (650t to your 900t) in the middle not counting his push. I realize he has you covered but if you called and won you'd be sitting at a little over double what you started with before your preflop raise. (2450t) I know your going to hate this, but what are the others at stack wise? How did villian accumulate his 3600t? Raw aggression, bluff bets, or solid hands/play? He might make a move like this on a flush draw and figures he can bully you out of the pot. Not that it would make much difference but do you have a 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]? I'm thinking he's drawing....if he had a made hand, he would bet less or check raise in order to get your stack. Hell maybe I'm wrong, but I think you're ahead here.

[/ QUOTE ] Can't rememeber either I'm afraid (I didn't know the answer to the 2nd question at the time either). Although I decided that I was going to have to something soon as the limits were going up and I was fairly short stacked (this was 10 handed 1500 starting chips). I had also decided that I wanted to either double up, steal the blind or bust out with my hand. Is it too early to think that? |

Re: Short and sweet. Do you call?
The problem is the initial raise from that position. Limping is better and the standard way to play in this situation. You really need to either play for a set (limp) or a blind steal which with this sort of hand (inevitable overcards on flop) is all-in. Problem is the blinds don't really justify an all-in here so overall I say you should limp.
In the situation you mention, I would probably call but dependent on my read on the other guy. You say you have no read but you have seen him win substantial chips so must have some opinion on this. The reason I call is that he might well think you have overcards, have missed and he can bluff you out. |

Re: Short and sweet. Do you call?
I agree with Husker. Villain is most likely drawing and is just trying to push you out. When I have seen this situation, the big stack is doing this without a made hand so I would probably call.
As to being in the mindset of going all the way with this hand, I would say you should not set your mind to this no matter what the flop. After raising, you either have 900 or 1200 chips (I cannot tell from the first post), so I figure you are most likley not that far from third place. You still have room to double up in a better situation. |
