Default Re: A hand question

Greg,

I don't understand why you say that Hero's play is good whether he bets all-in or only bets 3x the BB. By doing the latter, he's practically insuring that BB is going to call unless he's holding total garbage, since BB is getting better than 3:1 on his call.

Since Hero is pot-committed anyway, why shouldn't he just push all-in, and be happy to either take down the blinds or get BB to call for Hero's full stack size?
