The guy went ballistic and invited me to die a slow death amongst other things. To be honest, I have never had such a negative reaction.  You would think I had shot his dog or something. My question is.... was it such a bad decision?  I had already made a raise which he reraised.  But I had him well covered by the time I had to call his 910 chips.  I was aware that I was likely to be behind but even if I lost, it would put me on or around average chips with the rest.  Should I be saying 10 Hail mary's and will I be forever damned or was it a reasonable decision to make in the 20 seconds allowed?  ( I did finish in the money in the end)

Nothing wrong with it IMO and just a sore looser.

I'd ignore the chat box firstly, happens all the time

He played it fine, so its just heat of the moment stuff


 if you lose the hand you are still in 3rd place with 9xbb, so plenty of play against the others in the pack.

You have suited connecting hand that can crack a big hand

As it turns out you have live cards anyway, a 60-40 shot

You've already put in 400 and are having to put in 910 to win 2000 odd, in excess of 2-1


A long winded way of saying, the way you played it having raised, when it comes to the 910 call of the reraise I have no issues with it

[thetank]

I insta-call in your spot.

Statistically, you're 60:40 at having a slow painful death anyway, so I wouldn't be too concerned about the chat box.

nothing wrong imo but what would i know im rubbish

[Jackspratt]

Thanks for that.  I'm not keen on suited connectors at best of time..... the amount of times I have had AA cracked by "lesser" hands.  Does dent the confidence tho to have such vitriol heaped upon you.
