What would you have done?

RBT · #1 01-10-2005, 03:37 PM

$8300 in chips, 30+ left, average stack around $8000, paying top 5, just moved to the 500/1000 level, 20 minute levels, 7 players at my table.

I'm on the button with KK, UTG calls, MP1 folds, MP2 raises to $2000, LP calls.

What move do you make? I think it will be pretty universal, but it's just been eating at me and no better time then to make my first post on here.

I'll post results after I get a few opinions...if I get some.

Seems like an Easy push to me. Unless by some miracle you have one of them on AA.

very easy push.

You're right, and I shouldn't be asking the question like that because I think the only move is to push it all-in. I guess what's eating me is the MP2 calling me with 88 and only having me covered by $1200. I was getting it all in in that position no matter what. I just received a lot of flack after I tried to explain to "my friend" what a terrible call that was on the ride home....board came:
Q, 8, 3, 6, 6

At least he went on to win the thing.

Yep, that's what I was thinking. Oh well, hopefully he makes the call next time and the percentages hold up.

Yeah dont let things like this bother you. You got tol love that he basically called you with 2 outs or the hope of some miracle straight.

I suppose calling would be worse than folding pre-flop, but not by much. Cards happen.

If he was your friend I would think that he was doing you a favor. He figured it was a coin flip and in his position took more risk than you to coin flip with ya so that one of you could have a better chip stack and make higher pay.

I like playing aggresively, but I have no remorse against playing even much more aggresively against friends, not because I want to run them over but because combining our chip stacks in one way or another usually gets higher pay.
