Take a probable coin flip at this stage?
From the Empire $100 Happy Hour. 12 left (i've already won $17!), top 3 finish is all that matters.
My image was quite TAG; I did not play too many hands the entire tournament, and only showed down a few. Villan was erratic, but had shown a propensity to shove his stack with very mediocre hands (winning a few). Bottom line, I "knew" that I had a race here. Do you guys take the coin flip at this stage given my stack size? The level of play was weak to average and a win on this hand would pretty much assure me a deep finish. ***** Hand History for Game 2436599429 ***** NL Texas Hold'em Trny:14318309 Level:10 Blinds (300/600) - Thursday, July 28, 01:31:09 EDT 2005 Table Happy Hour $10,000 Guaranteed(403942) Table #1 (Real Money) Seat 3 is the button Total number of players : 6 Seat 1: nunzio11 ( $11015 ) Seat 9: gangsta_g985 ( $11732 ) Seat 10: Shorty35 ( $7390 ) Seat 7: MeFartSmelly ( $6730 ) Seat 8: luckycatch1 ( $9040 ) Seat 3: Cusack4Prez ( $18518 ) Trny:14318309 Level:10 Blinds (300/600) ** Dealing down cards ** Dealt to Shorty35 [ 4d 4s ] gangsta_g985 folds.

It seems quite probable that he could have you dominated with a number of hands, i.e. 55 or higher. However, if you told me you were 100% sure he had AK I would take the coinflip here.

If I'm going out with 4-4, Somebody's going to have to call my all-in with it. |

Fold here. If the situation was reversed, and the villain was first in with a raise, I'd make an argument for an all-in re-raise with 44, but I'm not calling with it. No freakin way.

[/ QUOTE ] I was 90% sure; so I called. He showed A6 - results from there dont matter. Normally I would fold, but I was so sure of my read (and knew I would need to win a flip eventually) so I took the chance. |

I might make an all-in bet, but never an all-in call with a pocket pair that low. The fact that a fold would still leave you with a decent stack left is even more reason to get out and make your stand another time.

Make a play with Fold-Equity.. Calling is bad. |
