Re: Poker by the book

Caro limped UTG 4-handed with TT with a somewhat short stack.. Sklansky pushed (or made large bet) from one of the blinds (with AK I beleive) and put Caro to the test. Caro starts chatting.. says "I have a bigger hand than you think".. Then TJ spouts out laughing "We all know you have a big hand .. you limped under the gun!" I beleive this comment hit home with Caro, and made him start thinking... "damn, it was so transparent that I have a hand, and Sklansky is trying to put me all in.. he must have a monster". He knows Sklansky probably isn't doing this with 99 or lower, so he's either a 4.5-1 dog or it's even money. He chose not to gamble. I don't think it's as horrible of a fold as most people have said it was. If Sklansky had QQ, Caro would have looked like a genius.

Not neccesarily if you consider the dead money already in the pot, and the short stack, I think it swings thisto a call
