To Call or not to call

[Compo]

The problem was that you looked so uncomfortable re-raising it was looked reasonably certain you would fold to a re-re-raise. I like the move if you are prepared to shove to another raise otherwise why raise? I think this highlights a common poker problem where players don't think through the consequence of any action they take.

as an aside can i take it you will be folding to any re-raise unless you hold  AA?  

The whole thing was situational...sunday night..wednesday night..insta call..but ive still got 7.5 k in a long slow structure...and sure enough a few hand later i get all my chips in as a massive favourite...which obv i lose..

cmon compo uv only witnessed a few of the beatings ive taken lately its no wonder im trigger shy  LOL

This might be a fold because its a Live game so the club cards are black and jus look dull.

Online, they are green and look amazing like this:  , so this hand would be totally unfoldable.

ur right there so preeeeeety...wot was i thinking

If the raiser is known to you sicilian then it stands to reason that you are known to the raiser. Compo is spot on because if you overbet the raise in order to visibly take it down there and then don't be surprised if this attitude is jumped on by a decent player. If you are known to be capable of this sort of fold decent players will be asking you to make it a lot. If you choose to swing the big stick with the A-K and then drop the big stick and run away like a girl when someone stands up to you then choosing the big stick strat is pointless.

If you don't decide to call an all-in when you're not in the pressure cooker of an all-in decision then you might loose your cool when you are in one and look for an excuse to fold. In this example you say you're oppos quick confident actions show you he has a monster. If I knew you and knew you could fold a big hand why would I act quickly and confidently with A-A? I would be delighted you raised and would reluctantly push to make sure of the call, not push with confidence and risk a fold.

As an example in the Jan main event facing young Ben vinson i 3 betted AQ on a rag queen high flop...i then went on to win the event

Blimey, this is news to me, first I've heard of it all...day.

Nun - "run away like a girl" only really serves to demonstrate what an admirable attitude the fairer sex has towards violence. It is not clever to be swinging big sticks at people and girls know this because they are smarter than men.
