oddball situation (that I\'m seeing more and more often)
Blinds 15/30. Two or three limpers then some goofball pushes all-in for 879 chips or something ridiculous like that.
I call with JJ here as fast as possible (assuming that I'm not worried about any of the reasonable players at the table) since this is almost always a middle pair, Ax, KT, or just a straight bluff. I think I've seen this done with a hand that beat JJ once (QQ) versus tons of times that JJ was either ahead or miles ahead.
So combining my answers to the following two questions...
[ QUOTE ]
When would you call an all in?
Does it play differently at higher buyins than low buyins?
[/ QUOTE ]
At low buyins, call preflop all-ins that are ridiculous overbets of the pot anytime you have JJ. (In fact, TT will do - maybe even 99.)
Of course, some may disagree with this assessment. Also, it may be too specific a situation to include in the FAQ, but I wanted to open it up for discussion.
BTW- Where can I find the FAQ?
