Three Left

[KenProspero]

Three left (so have already made the money).

Big stack has about twice the chips as me.
Big stack is LAG
Third stack will be forced all-in on the big blind next hand.

Small Stack (Button) folds.
Big Stack mini-raises.
Hero raises 1 x the pot.
Big Stack calls all-in.

What does hero do?

Call the all-in, and go for the win?
Fold, which will give me second almost assuredly, but significantly lower my chances to take first.

After thinking it over, I decided that the LAG could really have anything, and that with AKs, this gave me an excellent chance at taking the whole thing.

As fate would have it, LAG had Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. So my read was right. The three diamonds on the flop kinda wrecked my master plan, but that's poker, no complaints.
