Default Re: Decision Time

If the guy's going to pop the pot preflop in that way he's surely going to bet the flop. You still don't know what he has but a big pocket pair is most likely. The preflop raise makes the hand much easier to play because there's less room for maneuvering and it makes 55 and 66 unlikely. I'd have to know the player very well before thinking even twice about going all in.

As Greg points out, calling gets you more of his chips on average, so why not just call? On the turn if he bets you move all in. If he checks you bet and call the check-raise all-in.
