Anyone call this cocky guy?
Hey All,
I think that this would be a terrible call, but, I'm not completely sure. Whatdya think? BTW, I thought his "nice bet" remark was sort of funny.

Push pre-flop or fold, not sure which one is right(I think push pre-flop), raising/folding too all in is terrible though.

I'm sure he taught you a lesson. I don't even wanna bother to think about what odds you are getting and just how short stacked shorty is. Just push preflop.
Villian is an evil genius if he said 'nice bet' and pushed with trash. |

Yeh, I realize I just donated to his stack. The problem was that shorty is so short, and I didn't want to bust in 4th.
I don't know if my stategy of waiting for shorty to bust is good, or weak, or what. Hmmmm. Enlighten me. Shooby |

Shooby [/ QUOTE ] Waiting for the shorty to bust is not a bad strategy, and it is mandatory when it comes to calling all-in for all of your chips. However, the villain here is not going to want to become on par with shortie eiher, so if you push he will need a monster hand to call (or he's a donky). Simply raising here opened the door for him to put in the position of needing a monster hand, instead of the other way around. Fold AK here. |

In this case, the other two big stacks are probably saying the same thing, which makes taking their chips easier. AK is a premium hand and this is an auto-push pre-flop. I'm pushing A-10+ and 77+ (or at least real close to that). |

Just what everyone is saying, waiting for shorty is part of what you are doing and why you don't make bad calls or even marginal pushes, but this isn't a marginal push. It's an easy open-push.

[/ QUOTE ] That's exactly why villain just pushed over the top of you with 23o and that's exactly why you push this pf. As for folding and waiting for shorty to bust...shorty ain't that short, you're gonna be folding a lotta blinds if you don't push anything and wait for shorty to bust. Especially if BS is a good bubble player. |

Push pre-flop. That min-raise is just inviting the big stack to come over the top of you. Given the action, I would call the push.
