Re: Hands from the Bellagio ME when in a \"short\" stack
Unless you think UTG will fold a bigger overpair then I don't see the point in a push in hand 1. When I see UTG limp then explode with a big check/raise on a ragged flop I immediately start wondering what in gods name he limped with. If he's going to play a big-pair that way I can't imagine him folding it. That flop could have hit some of the other speculative hands he limped with. Given his check/raise I think he either has you beat or has a good number of outs against you. I don't think you're way ahead very often. If he's on a draw he's playing it very dangerously, and I think I'll give him this pot.
