Default Re: Calling with King high?

In that case, remind me to open min raise your big blind from the button with 4x BBs with 72o instead of pushing. I'm always looking to increase folding equity.

Doing that assumes that you're willing to call a push/get your push called. I think players that do this are basically conceeding that they're willing to let the other player see 5 cards in exchange for the action. He would still have to call if an ace flopped.


So it wouldn't work with 72...

Ansky you avoided answering the question, sort of. Would you call his push (I know you said you'd push yourself).

I was referring to this comment:

I *knew* he had a monster with that min raise. Whenever a shorty min raises like that instead of pushing (which conventional logic says he should push) it usually is a monster.

I would stick KJo in there somewhere, I really don't care that he happened to have kings. When someone has 4 bbs I basically consider them to be all in if they put money in the pot. If he pushed, you insta-call right? I hope so.

In this spot since I know hes committed, I'd probably try to stop and go, on the off-off-off chance that he might fold like A2, on a Q98 board or something like that. It's not because i think it will work very often, if ever, its just better than check-calling w/ king high. But the way you played it, if i checked the flop, I'd have called his push blind.
