PartyPoker $1M hand
Ok, so I was playin the million again this Saturday. This time I haven't busted in level 2 after a big bad bluff. On the other hand I have been steadily building my stack without showing down many hands (1 or 2 I think, total). On to the hand:
600 players left out of 1700 I havent played many hands I have a tight image Blinds 100/200 I have 4100 chips, about avg I'm on the button, looking at AQo Fold to the CO, who MINRAISES to 400 I make it 1000 to go Blinds fold He thinks until 2 secs left then pushes He barely covers me I instacall I'm thinkin now that I shoulda raised more (like 1500-2000), or folded. Too much to risk too early? Flame away peoples BRGDS, |

Some reads on the player would be nice. This is impossible to answer without.

Good thing we are never faced with that situaton when playing online! |

Re: PartyPoker $1M hand
FWIW, I assume that a minraise/minbet is a "come and get deez nuts" thing with these guys until proven differently, so I would have just called and seen the flop.
but yes, you should raise to at least 3x his raise. |

Re: PartyPoker $1M hand
You should either flat call his raise, or make a pot committing raise like 1400-2000/allin. AQo on the button and only 20x the BB is a bit too strong for me when facing a small cutoff raise, so I would choose raising to about 1500, and unhappily calling any reraise. |

Its just this is a very borderline decision IMO, and I don't think folding or calling is significantly more EV than the other, thats why I think we need a read to push it over the edge in one direction. Barring a read, I say, "It's late position action, so I'm calling..." then I see his TT and smile. Or I see his AK and cry. |

Re: PartyPoker $1M hand
I see people advocating a call here, but that was never an option of mine. I was thinkin fold or reraise. Am I way off here?

Re: PartyPoker $1M hand
I was reffering to your decision as to what to do to the push.
Personally, I just call PF, although, I sometimes take flops where other 2+2ers seem to advocate preflop aggression. |
