What do you try to accomplish with the call? Sure you have pot odds like crazy and you are the big stack etc... but I normally do not try to take 2 players out if there are only 5 players left, because then there is no bubble situation anymore and stealing becomes harder.

In this case however your stack is so big that it wont matter too much.

I like this here.

I hate it when big stacks (that are horrible) attempt to take out the short stacks. Calling their all-ins with trash and doubling them up so we can stay 5 handed till level 8.

Morons.

BUT WAIT! Can't complain. They make me the money.

I'm confused. First you say you like the play. Then you say you hate it when the big stack calls an all in with rags. Which is it?

Think what he means is he likes it as long as they win the hand, but hate it when they lose? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
