UTG+1 (t660)

MP2 (t1230)
CO (t660)
Button (t900)
SB (t2715)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
Hero raises to t50, 3 folds, CO raises to t100, 3 folds, Hero calls t50.

Turn: (t790) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)

Oh yeah I'm not sure what was up with the converter but it should show that I checked the flop and he went all in, and I called.

(Yeah, I won the pot but disgerard that.)

what was the buyin?

Haha, good question, it was a $10 sit and go *multi* table that I was playing to pass the time. If you're asking thisbecuase you think that I wouldn't have made this call in a high(er) stakes tourney, you might be right, but I also figured that BECAUSE it was a cheap tourney, he could have a wider range of hands. Still though, I saw that AA and called.

I would tend towards a call in the low spectrum and the high spectrum. Anything in the middle, say $50 area, I am more inclined to fold, though I probably don't. Loose idiot play at the low stakes and more bluffing at the higher stakes, imo.
