Can anyone Justify this call in a Cash Game

[cambo]

most people will sit down with 60-70 flushy which stil isnt the best, as most of the time ur puttin all ur chips in on 1 hand, where it can work in ur favour for the good players like timaloy is sit with 60 then double through then with everyone constantly buyin back you can make a good few quid

[temp0r]

Yes, and player 1 is a mug for passing.

i second this notion.
in future i suggest not moaning about people calling when they have implied odds and finding a cash game with half decent structure.

[thetank]

Sitting down with 20-50 in a 1-1 game is surely a bad idea?

You should try THIS game in particular Flushy, you would sit with £50 as well it limits the outdraws, most of the table are calling stations, no need for a big stack you wil get it at the table.

You get outdrawn, you reload.

I doubt Flushy would buy in for £50.

If you can beat the game, have a bankroll to stand it, sit with a stack to maximize EV.

Would you rather risk £50 as a 65% fave, or £200 as a 65% fave?

I know I'm not allowed to correct anyone's grammar, but this is surely the world's worst sentence.  What does it actually mean?  How can we respond meaningfully to such gibberish?

[thetank]

Well I suppose we'll let you off MrsLime, seeing as you did it in such a humble, benevolent and understanding manner. 

[thetank]

Here's how I read it.....

It was not gentleman one who called, 'twas gentleman two, the shorter of the stacks don't you know.

I would have welcomed with open arms, and a drop of cognac, being outdrawn by gentleman number one, he used to skull for my brother at Eton. Sadly, he lacked either the stiff upper lip or testicular fotitude required to make such a call, and my chips were taken by the other fellow.

Most peculiar.

I'm a trifle new to this whole shooting match, my Granmama used to play bridge with the Duchess of Kent though.

To be fair, that doesn't make much sense either.

Exactly, if the game is full of calling stations i want to be deep. The only time i want to be shallow is against players who i can't really outplay down the streets, but i am comfortable that i have an edge on the flop and pre flop.

[boldie]

what do you mean, what do you do? you bang em in there. I'd reraise him.

[Royal Flush]

Call.

[Timaloy]

How much do you bet, what do you put him on, your out of position against a hyper agressive and unpredictable player, whats your reason(s) for raising here?

[Timaloy]

You call £15

Turn Ah

You to act.

because I want him to be very sure I am ahead. I also don't like giving away free cards so I reraise him for about 45-55£ (slightly below the new pot)

I take him for either top pair (in which case he is beat)...or and even more likely as he didn't raise this hand (agressive players tend to freeze up when they actually find a hand better then AK) a high pocket pair maybe even just two over cards.
