$55 bubble call with big stack

#1 10-14-2005, 06:59 PM

All four of us have been playing tight on the bubble and sb has folded to me on my bb couple of times in a row. I'm fairly sure I'm beat here, but I call getting ~2 to 1 from pot.

If I call and lose I can't bully the shorties as easy as I could had I just folded. Of course if I win I have very good chances for first.

I think this is an autocall but I want to be sure.

Button (t1360)
SB (t1605)
Hero (t5425)
UTG (t1610)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
utg and button fold,sb moves in and Hero calls t1105.

Turn: (t3210) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)

River: (t3210) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)

Final Pot: t3210

Results in white below:

Wormie,

Nice flop huh? Hahahaha

You have hella lot of chips and are pretty much dominating the tourney from what it looks like, I would have done the same thing, it sends a message to the others that you are willing to push them around, get their blinds, and then take a chance even if your not a favorite to take them out. You lose this hand here your not crippled and obviously,as we see from the results, things worked out alright.

Did you win?

I'll take 2 to 1 against a wide range here very, very easily.
