Default Re: Stars $215 preflop decision

[ QUOTE ]
In general, what does texan's flat-call (as opposed to a push) indicate? Assume no reads, I'd played maybe 15 hands at this table.

It's hard to say. It could mean strength (AA), weakness (low to mid pairs) or just utter stupidity. In my experience, the only hand that beats you that frequently gets called here is AA, maybe KK. More often than not, the call means that the guy is worried about committing his whole stack, even though he will probably end up calling for his whole stack anyway. Kind of like the idiots who limp in EP with 55 then call all-in when they get raised by someone from LP.

Anyway, the stacks are just not deep enough for to fold the fourth best stanrting hand. I think 99 would be the turning point where I start to consider folding.
