Default Re: what would you do

Hi Larry:

The answer is how close do you think this play is? Since you are asking the question, I assume you think that it is close between calling and folding. And, when you get close to the money, as David points out in his book, the right play is to usually stay away from close gambles. So you should probably fold.

If on the other hand you view your opponent as being very reckless in his all-ins and he could easily have something like AJ for instance, then it is not such a close gamble any more.

best wishes,
Mason
