i've had that happen a few times in the 33's. 6 players left. it's heads up. bigstack villian raises on turn. i just got tpgk. it'll cost me 90% of my chips to call. i go all in for 100 more chips. he folds.

1. Theres a small chance that one of my opponents is a complete moron like jtireyjr.
2. if you've been pushing every hand there's a small chance that your opponents will read the variation as strength (ie, why did he just now raise less than all in? Maybe he has something like KK) 3. I don't see how it hurts me in any way. If he tries a pathetic stop and go I'm calling. |

[/ QUOTE ] I guess so, but theres also a chance that the moron would have folded if you just put him all in and instead decided to call w/ whatever the hell he would call with there and hit the flop then you lose 2600 instead of gaining 600 and I dont think the raise to 2k is going to make him think you have a monster b/c youre essentially putting him all in anyways |
