Stars 500k, DblGutShot makes a call

The other rumor is Greg Alston.

Whoever it is, he won the WCOOP in 2004 among other accomplishments.

that was rumored, but its not true.

only reason I say it is because it came up in the google search, on the second page of hits or so, but I guess it could be wrong. also, there is a user with that name on this forum.

When you're getting 2:1 odds, you need an excuse to fold, not an excuse to call. Except in extreme bubble situations, you should essentially never fold a PP HU getting 2:1 because there's no reasonable range you can put your opponent on that justifies this:

equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 37.4300 % 37.14% 00.29% { 2c2d }
Hand 2: 62.5700 % 62.28% 00.29% { KK+, AKs, AKo }

and in a situation like this it might be better to pass up near breakeven plays.

Yeah, you're obviously right, Exit. My post was way too strongly worded. In this spot, I think JJ+, AK is WAY too tight, but you know that anyway.

Anyway, folding PPs HU getting 2:1 on an all in is sometimes okay but usually isn't. How's that?

[TheTimeIsUp]

This is an extremely standard call.
