Re: Of course I call this all in right?
Its not that big of a secret. Small stack is your friend and you should be haoy to let him take down the pot so you can steal more chips from the other two.
If your asking if its a good pot odds call, then yes its fine, for a lot of other situations. |

Re: Of course I call this all in right?
Guess I autocalled for doing the exact opposite in past then getting picked off then not making money. I do see your point though well worth stealing the other stacks and letting him take it.

Re: Of course I call this all in right?
If my goal is to double-up the short stack, then yes, I auto-call.
Otherwise, I wait until I have a reasonable hand to call with. |

You're getting better than 2:1 odds for a minuscule part of your stack, so clearly call. [/ QUOTE ] Actually he is only getting 1.8:1. 450:250 = 1.8:1 I think the odds of having the best hand by the river are worse than 1.8:1 so I fold. Paul |

Those at the table who A) don't understand poker and B) have a vested interest in you knocking out the small stack will give you hell in the chat box.
This is a good time for you to reply, "Pocket Jacks haven't been lucky for me tonight, I didn't want to risk it." |

Re: Of course I call this all in right?
Thanks for the insight to someone new to tourney play. I don't think I would have picked this up for quite some time without this forum. These forum's are great.
