Default Re: 55 in BB against small stack all in and a limp reraise

Add to the all-in scenario:

You raise 400, get it heads up. You don't improve but neither does the All-in AK or AQ. You take down the pot that you might not have had you allowed the limpers to stay in. Chances are they might have had JT or even 66 and caught their hand.

I didn't think there was anything wrong with trying to get the hand heads up.

First of all, there were three limpers and a forth that went all in for 105. Obviously, if you call, all the limpers are coming in. You don't think four others is alot? I do.

Secondly, there is no dead money if you raise and get it heads up. The entire pot will either go to you or the all in. You still have to beat the all in which is a coin flip at best. Seems to me there are a few different scenerios here.

First - You raise to 400, get it heads up, flop and five and win the money in the pot. You'll be sick that you didn't let others in.

Second - You raise to 400, get it heads up, and lose to the all in. You've risked 400 for no real reason because you were going to lose regardless.
