I can't help think that i should have put him allin here but this guy was as tight as lycra on a fat bloke. I had only been at the table for about 20 or so hands and on the previous round he had folded his SB when the table had folded around to him. This was the first hand he had played since i had arrived. A part of me thinks i should have moved in but his min raise was really odd. Was he testing me here or did he flop 2 pr etc.? Also, I thought that i might be out kicked. Basically i was faced with an allin or fold decision and i was totally confused by his actions, so i folded. Should i just have pushed anyway?

Did you really, seriously consider putting all your chips in with a 3 kicker?

Yes, he was either testing me or he had me.

Is it worth finding out?
You only beat a bluff really.

I just had a chap call for all his chips on the river with K3 LOL, he was dead to my straight as it happens but i put him on a strong king and put him allin.
I thought he may call with a strong King but the truth is some will call with ANY kicker so i wouldn't risk what you are saying for fear of K4, K5 calling!!!

Yea, you're right but i would like his chips. I couldn't figure out why he doesn't bet out, and then min raises. I could have bottom pair and be finding out where i am for all he knows, so surely he can't be trying to build the pot.
