Default Re: Short and sweet. Do you call?

The problem is the initial raise from that position. Limping is better and the standard way to play in this situation. You really need to either play for a set (limp) or a blind steal which with this sort of hand (inevitable overcards on flop) is all-in. Problem is the blinds don't really justify an all-in here so overall I say you should limp.

In the situation you mention, I would probably call but dependent on my read on the other guy. You say you have no read but you have seen him win substantial chips so must have some opinion on this.

The reason I call is that he might well think you have overcards, have missed and he can bluff you out.
