What do you think of this call? It definately looks like he's stealing this. He just suffered a bad beat and lost half his chips. I put him on a very wide range.

[cleinen]

I would do the same thing. Good spot to pickup some more chips.

[microbet]

It's a good call even if he's just a little loose and you don't think he will push with QQ+.

if you're putting him on a wide range, then I think it's good call.

But of course whenever I take a bad beat, the only thing that's better than waking up with premium cards the next hand is then pushing those cards as fast as I can (especially if the push is an overbet), just because the push looks so much like a tilt push.

What consideration should be given to the fact that the BB is yet to act. If you call, he's going to be getting decent pot odds for putting in all his chips (you can't fold).

[Uppercut]

Easy, easy call.
