First round of Stars 215. We start with 2500

Blinds 10/20. I open for 60 in Cut-Off with K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]...BB unknown makes it 200. I CALL
Flop J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]...He bets 200 and I CALL

Just had the same type situation in the Party Quater Mil. Had KK and opened from cutoff to 90 with 10/15 blinds, SB bumped it to 200 and I pushed him in and he insta called with AA.

And, maybe u should try to stick with playing a small pot because if all the chips go in u are often gonna look at AA

yes, so often that i see monsters under my bed.

That is some real constructive poker theory there willie, thanks a lot for the contribution.

you're losing all your chips against AA if you see a flop without an A anyways.

That is not really true Billy Jex...I dont see how that is an argument against just calling anyways

Put him on a range. Do you see how most of his hands are either *exactly* QQ-TT or have an ace in them, more likely the latter?

Now, if he calls, the river is the 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and he bets 500/1000/pushes, can you fold?

So his implied odds to call your turn bet when he has something like A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Kx or A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Jx are...
