Re: TT sb
instincts want me to push, but raising 1/4 stack behind bigstack limper? don't know that i want to risk 1/2 my chips to find out i'm dominated. pushing over with bigstack still to react is a little disheartening also. what else can we do...call? i don't care for that much either. short of flopping a set, we're going to have troubles proceeding on the flop. this is certainly on the weak side, but i just pretend i didn't see this fine hand and fold. with any luck bigstack is limping with a monster of his own and will take care of business.

[/ QUOTE ] this reminds me of this time i had KK in an identical situation and this guy raised and i didnt want to involve half of my stack on the chance the guy had AA, so i just folded. folding is terrible. calling is less than 10% of your stack and you're getting nearly 2-1 (325/175)on your money with what is very likely the best hand. reraising isnt terrible either if you want to race... |

Re: TT sb
i'll agree to disagree with you [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] (i'm pushing KK btw)
calling is a little better than pushing folding is a little better than calling (IMO) my 2k in chips clearing the blinds are worth much more to me than potentially losing 1/2-1/3...even 1/10th of my chips finding out where we stand (or more likely, NOT finding out). maintaining your healthy stack at this level for OPEN-aggression in later levels is paramount. you do not have the calling odds to flop a set. and you have virtually no way to proceed safely on any other flop. you just don't have the chips to "find out" if you're good on the flop. a fold makes a lot of sense when your ONLY likely option post-flop is check/folding, or blind pushing. no shame what so ever in folding this hand. |
