hahahahah.

You win.

Zach

p.s. wtf kinda raise is that:P

[iequalzach]

Haha. I had just busted out of a freeze out at my friend's house with aces all in PF and had no ride home, so sat down at a 10+1 to kill some time.

First hand got aces and pushed, half-expecting a call (and double up), but also knowing that I really don't mind playing an average stack, and winning an average pot at this level doesn't mean much at all later on.

I must admit, I was surprised to see 53 when the cards were shown.

[gildwulf]

OK, I think I got you beat on this one:

[lastchance]

Calling and betting on the flop and saying stuff to encourage calling here is horrible.

Your opponent is pot-committed. Just reraise him for the rest of his chips. You don't need to do anything fancy to get him to call 200 in a pot of nearly 2000.

[gildwulf]

true dat.
