[Feb 5 22:11:33] : Seat 5 : sharpy has Aspades Ks [Feb 5 22:11:35] : greekgod64 folded. [Feb 5 22:11:41] : mwanza called 400 and raised 800 [Feb 5 22:11:43] : Stakes: 200/400 Current level: 6 Level up in: 8 min. Break in: 30 min.

[Feb 5 22:12:15] : Rammy folded. [Feb 5 22:12:17] : mwanza called 1,600 and raised 3,845 and is All-in [Feb 5 22:12:23] : Stakes: 200/400 Current level: 6 Level up in: 7 min. Break in: 29 min. Players : 323 [Feb 5 22:12:31] : It's your turn. [Feb 5 22:12:31] : sharpy has 10 seconds to respond Now at this point I am sure he has a pair but not sure how big because previously he has initially raised bigger amounts when he has been first to act on a pot.(these raises went uncontested) What to do? Title: Re: Do you call or fold here??? Post by: NoflopsHomer on February 06, 2006, 08:53:23 PM 3845 to call for 8445 in the pot already. You're getting more than 2-1. You have to call.
Title: Re: Do you call or fold here??? Post by: Newportlad on February 06, 2006, 08:59:43 PM I agree with Nohomer.
You cannot do anything other than call here, and even if you lose, you still have quite a few chips left. Title: Re: Do you call or fold here??? Post by: temp0r on February 06, 2006, 10:37:01 PM yeah you have to call. not only because of pot odds. but because you're up against what is probably a desperate short stack who knows he won't be able to get back into the tournament without a big pot or big steal. you'd still have about 10k in chips if you you're up against KK or AA.
then again you should be taking the type of player you're up against into account also. but chances are you're up against AQ or JJ or something. Title: Re: Do you call or fold here??? Post by: sharpy on February 06, 2006, 10:54:23 PM Thanks guys,I knew the pot odds were right, I was trying to decide wether he had kings/aces or not.. Anyway I called..He turns over pair of 8's I caught a king on the flop and no help for him. I just wasn't sure about his pair.....I didn't think he would risk his tournament on a medium pair Title: Re: Do you call or fold here???

I just wasn't sure about his pair.....I didn't think he would risk his tournament on a medium pair In a situation like this, the chances of him having AA or KK are unlikely because you're already holding one of each. With bigger chips stacks and/or smaller blinds the case for laying it down grows. Title: Re: Do you call or fold here???
