People wear black socks with tennis shoes. It's senseless. But it's even more senseless to wonder why they do it... especially if you're a black-socks salesman.

standard at the 11s, which is why you shouldn't have pushed this hand PF on level 3 even tho you were lucky not to get sucked out on.

I don't understand. It doesn't look like anyone called this. MP1 was all-in preflop, no?

I probably fold here to tell you the truth.

Too many big blinds to mess around with this. If blinds are 50/100 and u got 950 chis, then yeah but at this point you have a nice stack and it's just not worth jeopardizing it. One overcard puts you in a bad position.

Correct play by you. Silly play by him. Don't listen to all these naysayers.

Yes, and quickly. Well, I would think 'what could he be pushing?' Then I would say, certainly not AA/KK/QQ/JJ, then I would call.

What are you saying?

That pushing with trash at the 11s is normal, and with a known better hand you shouldn't call/push because you're afraid of getting 'sucked out on'.

This seems absurd to me.

I had a similar situation.

I'm on the button with 900 and JJ.
UTG pushes with 700 chips at 15/30. It folds to me.

Should I fold this?
Of course not.
