I think a better option here is to call. If you hit the river, procede to play strong. If he checks the river and you do not hit, I would go ahead and bet about 3/4 the pot and you will probably take it down. If he bets the river, its safe to fold.

Well, if villain is the same no-good assclown that knocked me out, you have no folding equity [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Seriously -- I like the play.

simply calling and then missing leaves me with about 1500 or 10x BB. i would be very shortstacked, and in a satellite that only pays top 2, and really only 1st is worthwhile, i think i need to get chips here
