For those whom don't remember, please tell me what you would do. I was so shocked by some of the responses to this hand and someone just reminded me about it, so I have to bring it back due to boredom and the invention of SNGPT. I'll post the link to the original thread soon.

Call

[bennies]

Congratulations on 1st place.

Looks like a no brainer call. He has to be pushing more then any pair/ace here. If you made some donkish moves earlier then it becomes close but if you haven't shown the tendancy to call I would call here in a flash.

Fold? the shorty will have like half his stack in next hand and give yourself a good chance at 2nd. But then again a call would put you heads up with the shorty if you win and if you lose youll still have more chips than shorty. I might actually call here. But im very tight in situations like this cause I like to be the aggressor. What do you think his range is? Tighter cause of shorty?

[Annulus]

Easy call. i think you have the best hand and if you lose you still have double the short stack.

OH NO... not this again. I really hope Gigabet and Daliman don't see this thread [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

btw I'm in the call camp on this one but I think you need to mention that Rojosox was playing tight.

A premium hand is pushing here? Blinds are massive. He has 6 Big blinds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shoot I would probably push a ton of stuff in that position. If he is waiting on a premium hand he doesn't have much longer to wait. INSTA call and if you lose start pushing. Probably make second place even if you lose.

This is my opinion WITHOUT using SNGPT. Gonna go see how wrong or right I was.... No, I don't have to, doesn't even matter, I call every time no questions asked.

[helpmeout]

I call unless

1. He has been overly tight
2. They are both playing for second and I am stealing so much that to lose 2/3 of my stack would no longer allow me to do this.
