Ironside said, "i know i am behind"

the guy must know i am pot commited to this hand getting nearly 3-1 for the call
so what sort of hand must he have
on the other hand he is very short and needs a double thru so doesnt need much of a hand

if i call and find mysefl against a monster i will still have over half the chips in play

but if i fold and keep the guy in i have been able to pick up lots of small uncontested pots

and can blind the 2 stacks out without giving them a chance to get back into the game HU


debate

If you fold this time will they continue to let you steal pots?

If you call and lose will they be more or less likely to call your raises when you try to steal? (Some would avoid tangling with you unless they have a monster as they know you will call, others will tangle with you more as they think you're playing with rubbish)

If you think that folding will adversely affect your abilty to steal pots, or that calling would aid it then i'd definately call.

With the stack you had, I'd call for deffo. But then I'd never have a stack that big.........

Come to think of it, how did YOU get a stack that big? Did everyone else disconnect?

i refer the gentleman to the answer i gave some hours ago (not bad tony blair impersonation if i do say so myself)
