With 970 left, and a pot of 970.... you get all your chips in pronto.

You could bet 450.. but that would only be on the basis of doing it to get the rest of your chips in on the turn/river (assuming they didn't raise you up on the flop)

If you are looking for a way to get out of putting all your chips in, fold pre flop. I dont think there is much reason to put 1/4 of your stack in pre-flop with that hand, and then not follow through when you hit it as hard as you could reasonably expect.


I dont think your stack is big enough to do anything but get the money in on this board.

I would be interested to see what others (read better players) do here.. because my chips get in the middle approximately 100% of the time in this spot.

Also, if the limper is a total donk, I think you would be better off just limping pre-flop... if you hit the flop.. the donk will likely pay you off some.. and if you miss you can preserve the stack for more equitable situations.
