Dangerous call, yes-no?

jcarter · 05-13-2008, 05:29 PM

Not to many hands into the sesion with no real information on anyone. Being a small stack I couldnt resist to call. Worked out well but could have been trouble?

I play it the same, but I play 6max so I might be overvaluing AK, I really don't know. Your cold call looks super strong, UTG is going to fold out most of his range, and if he doesn't, you'll have position. It really depends a lot on how much UTG is opening from that position and somewhat depends on whether MP1 is a shortstacker of the idiot variety or of the tight variety.

I kinda expect the more experienced full ring players to say fold because we have nothing invested, which is obviously the lower variance play. In a vacuum, they're probably right. But, depending on reads, this might be a profitable situation.

AK = nuts.

Just gamble you've got odds.

Yeah you can't go wrong with this. If UTG re-raises after that you may be in trouble. Cold calling the all in looks super strong so I don't know what hands I'd re-raise with as UTG besides KK or AA

Folding is/was cleary not an option, IMO. Anybody consider raising? No. I didn't think so.

No raise here, flat call and hope UTG doesnt push b/c then ur in a bad situation. Really tho with a deep stack this is a pretty easy call.
