You might be going broke...because you ARE pushing over the top here.

Ps. Just a personal preference, but I'm raising a full 4x here UTG. Certainly a GOOD thing to get a caller, but with one, often comes another from the blinds. Given the blind/stack sizes, I'm not too thrilled about this thing getting 3+ handed, where folks are easily committing themselves to draw friendly flops.

I instantly call this.

Probably the only reason you posted this is because you got rivered, or he hit a miracle on the flop.

I call this at any level - even the 200's

hope this helps [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Sorry - by call, I meant overpush.

You are in a tough spot. Best you can do is try to isolate the all-in. and hope he doesn't hit his diamond.

Instacall, thats a big overbet so a majority of the time he's on a draw and a few times it's a complete bluff. You're ahead enough to make $ here.

Thanks I figured the the bet to be too big as well and called, which was enough to have the player behind me all in as well. He called, I crapped myself, until they turn over QsJs and Qh 10c. Was just checking my play, as i've had this go both ways...
