Um, I think you are the BB in this hand. The hand was posted weirdly, I guessed that we were supposed to assume the SB folded. [/ QUOTE ] Yes, I was. The converter mangled all the pre-flop action, so I typed it manually. I forgot to include the SB fold. Edit: does that change anyone's response? |

Re: just how good are snowmen?
No SB doesn't change anything... you still push. I totally see his rationale though. He's thinkin "hey this is 3-handed and I have an A with a suited card higher than 7... even if one of them has an A, my kicker's likely still better and I have a flush possibility, but what are the odds that they have an A 3 handed? I'll just raise and see if I can buy this one."
Then once you raised all-in, his thoughts probably changed to "what the heck... he must just think I'm trying to steal this one since I'm short-stacked. Since SB already folded, maybe he's tryin to make a move with a face card and a weak kicker. Well crap... I'm not gonna let him make that move on me (subconsciously: since I've sold myself on the great value of my hand) so I'll call" Made hands are always better than draws PF. Snowmen are good for an all-in with the rising blind structure and the fact that you had him covered. |

Re: just how good are snowmen?
Seems to me over the last few days especially, I'm seeing people call with pretty much anything -- eight high, 10, 2 offsuit, 75 suited, 32 suited, seriously, you name it. Folding equity against a big swath of players is close to zero. I don't know if someone has found a way to synchronize the zombies into an army of world domination or what. But it seems around the bubble, nobody folds anything with rare exception lately in my games. Which is great if you can stand a showdown every time.
