Default Re: what\'s the move? What I did ain\'t it.

Firstly, I don’t think it’s a good idea to try and make any smart moves out of position against an unknown who can break you. The only piece of info. you have on this guy is that he has a lot of chips. I’d be a bit more cautious than normal against someone like that because there’s an increased probability that he got those chips by playing loose. So, you certainly don’t want to get involved with A7o against that type of opponent.
Therefore I would fold pre-flop with this hand.

You choose to steal – and yes you’re right, you didn’t raise enough – make him pay to see the flop – put in a pot sized raise or more , say make it 1800-2000. However, that’s 30% of your stack which is a lot of money just to win 900, especially as I said when you have to act first after the flop.
When he calls pre-flop, and then that flop comes I think you have to shut down. No point in throwing good money after bad. If you do bet, go all-in.
