WSOP ME mistake?
Hero 12K Chips/ 150/300 blinds 25 ante
Hero UTG JJ. Raise to $1000. Extremely short stacked button reraises to 2300. BB goes all in for 10,100 total. BB is a push specialist. Has either folded or gone all in since ariving at table. I read BB for AK/AQ and fold not wanting to call off basically all my chips on a coin flip. Comments? |

Re: WSOP ME mistake?
Good question. I would not be worriedt about the short stacked player who moved all in since he only has T2300, but
the big blind can cripple you. If he is a move in specialist I would probably call. I would figure I have the best hand and yeah it might be a coin flip, but there are a few other factors. You don't have a lot of chips either so you are going to have to double up at some point and if we take into consideration the small stack moving all in there is an extra overlay with his T2300. So I reluctantly would probably call. Bruce |

Re: WSOP ME mistake?
I'd rather not draw out JJ vs two opponents myself. Good chance Q-A are covered and always the potential of an overpair, even though it may be unlikely.
I'd fold here, but am not very good ;-) |

Re: WSOP ME mistake?
I call. I think it's very likely that short stack and the push master are sharing an A, and this looks like a great spot to more than double up to me. I am going to assume push master isn't that crafty and his push is just to isolate on the short stack, not figuring you for a real big hand, which gives me even more reason to call since I really don't see him going over the top so much with KK or AA, MAYBE with QQ but I would take my chances here. Is my donkish thinking sound here or are there better spots to put all the chips in?

Re: WSOP ME mistake?
I call for a few reasons: He is a move in specialist so you probably have the best hand, you are not worried about the 2300 all in since you will still be in ok shape if you lose to him, you need to gamble and win coinflips to make it deep in a big event like the WSOP ME.

Re: WSOP ME mistake?
If I read him for anything other than QQ-AA then I call in a shot. Best case you can win 13,600 for your 9,000 call and you're a favorite against anything but those hands.
BUT.... If you have some doubt, and you really want to play some more I can certainly understand folding and waiting. |
