Default Re: Stars $500k hand w/TP against another big stack

How is 20BB a big stack?

Do you have the Yc?

When you're playing in a Stars tourney and the blinds are 800/1600. We were both well above average at the time and the 2 largest stacks on our table.

True enough. But isn't this more of a reason to fold and then just pick on the little guys?

Also, what are his pre-flop standards? I figure he'd re-raise with AK/JJ+.

Knowing this, would he make this move with 88-TT? What about with a set of 7s? Flush draw?

Whether this call is profitable or not is depending on how loose he is with the all-in. If he's tight and only does this with the goods, folding is best. But if he has done a move like this with a flush draw/mid-pair before, calling now becomes correct.


Against the hand range of

ATo-AQs/KJcc-KQcc

You have a little more than 30% equity in the hand.
