Just call...

[Ogre]

call

[pooh74]

This wouldnt make me sick at all. I don't think it makes much difference what you do here.

I'd call, but I am not sure it matters how "right' it is.

[psyduck]

um call and start up a new one? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

No other options left at this point.

Call, triple up, go on to win, win the next 14 in a row, move up, play 1,000,000 SNG's with a 68% ROI, retire and open up a beauty salon.

this is how I play it also, minus the beauty salon.

Am I the only one who folds here? A minraise from a 10bb stack smells suspicious to me. I fold and push any two next hand.

Edit: Oops, he's the button. Did he often try to steal with minraises?

[jeffraider]

Jesus guys just because I'm short doesn't mean I need to just give it up here. Let's say no reads at all, what does your average reraiser have here?

Let's see, minraise UTG, and he pops it a very scary 600 more, which is precisely half of his stack. Does this smell like JJ/AJ or worse to anyone? I don't think so. I think if I call and he has JJ is my very best case spot (and of course I'd call if he showed me JJ) but really, people's initial raising standards can be light but reraising like this? This isn't a move someone makes with anything I've got a chance at being ahead of, and AQ is in bad shape against what I think is his likely range of JJ-AA, AK. I think JJ is unlikely, and AQ isn't likely either.

I folded and went on to win the tournament which means exactly nothing obviously except that folding here doesn't guarantee I lose this tourney. Unfortunately the minraiser also folded so I'm left to wonder, but I think with this action in front you'd have to be crazy to think AQ is in any kind of decent shape.

[gisb0rne]

I would have folded because of the small reraise. At least thats my way of rationalizing it.
