Calling All-ins

#1 12-14-2005, 04:53 PM

Against aggressive opponents in a NL tournament -

When you are pushing with 2 cards, is an aggressive player with a big stack more or less likely to call you down than a regular player? Is there any kind of theory to this, or is it based on that player's read of you of that time?

The read of course.

What are the blinds?
Relative stack sizes?
What stage of the tournament?
Is his stack, big, large, huge, overwhelming?
What does he think you are pushing with?

If he is agressive he probally won't be calling you down, he will be raising or folding.

Yeah, I don't call all-in's, I like to reraise so I at least win the side pot with myself.

I think you missed the point of my sarcasm. The question from the OP was about people giving him action on his trash-pushes, the "aggro players raise or fold" is an off-topic tangent.

I guess we didn't miss the point of you going even farther off topic, while at the same time not contributing any content and then finally attempting to pass off your comment as worthwhile .
