Should I play this hand?

HoldingFolding · #1 05-30-2005, 09:18 PM

I've been card dead since before the battle of Agincourt, my opponents have played solidy and made chips with good hands. I'd swore I'd go all in next time I saw a face. Then this hand came up. A slim chance to triple up and get something other than 3rd or does that called raise mean the big stacks might go at it?

You have no stack. Push!

I'd push. It's highly doubtful that the Button will be eliminated this hand. If you fold, you're left with 330 which essentially forces you to be all in next hand with the small blind. You can't wait for a chance to make everyone fold since you have zero fold equity. Just push now and hope to flop a Q or J and hopefully triple up.

You have less than 3 Big Blinds... I'd insta-call, then again I play on Stars so I'm not really qualified to give good answers..

Look at how small your stack is and the odds you're getting on your chips. Get them in there quickly and hope for the best.

Yes, go all-in.

You're getting 5:1. Instapush, or even better, call and all-in on any flop, hoping to fold button.

LOL. I wouldn't get your hopes up if you're trying to make anyone fold a 1800 pot to a 60 bet.

I think my original post lacked information (apologies). To date steals had been 3x blinds, button's raise looked very suspicious, he was also over-aggressive, I thought SB's call meant he had a very strong hand. I thought the Button played this really badly, but I thanked him politely for the case of beer he'd just bought me.

It really doesn't matter what the other two have. You're stack is so small that I'd call with almost any 2. They could tell me what they had and I'd still call. You got really lucky that the button went all in. He's an idiot. He could have almost guaranteed 2nd if he didn't. Even so, can't be results orientated. I still call preflop.
