Re: Do you call an all-in for nearly half your stack on a draw?
Interesting. Sorry to deceive.
I was actually the SB in this hand, and not the BB! I was interested to know what people thought of the BB's call after I check-raised all-in. I had AJ and believed I had the best hand at that time. The chips in the middle would boost my stack by a third, and I wanted them. It looked as if everyone else was looking for a cheap turn card. Was it a bad play on my part? |

[/ QUOTE ] You raised way too much given the pot size and the level of the tournament. You should also never have checked the flop in the first place--there are draws everywhere on this board, and with nobody raising preflop you cannot expect a bet to occur when you check (and you cannot expect that bet to be big enough to chase anyone, as was the case here). Lead out with a pot-sized bet, and if BB wants to chase his flush draw without the proper odds, let him. |
