Default Re: Resteal by a solid opponent

I think that is a really weak-tight and short sighted statement/response.

It does not matter how you got yourself into a position in poker, it only matters what the proper decision in the moment is. Right now you are getting the opporunity to call 845 chips to win 1870, that is 2.21:1. This call is going to somewhat cripple you if you lose, but you will not be super short. You will retain fold equity if you lose, which is the most important aspect of this hand.

Your hand is good, and you are in fantastic shape if you wind up racing in a pair. Yes he could have you crushed, big deal. Hopefully you'll suck out and have some guy calling you a donk for calling his push getting 2.21:1. Sucks to be him, he can load of a new SNG.

Fortune favors the bold.
