As the Small blind you do what?

[StuartHopkin]

I do a flat fold

[the rage]

I would fold. Wait for a better spot against the LAG.

[outragous76]

fold

[Ironside]

raise less, fold, wait for better spot

[BAM]

Call all day long

[EvilPie]

Don't raise against this particular description of player unless you intend to call a shove.

Hence given the action do what BAM says.

If you don't fancy getting it in with KTs don't raise in the first place. You're gifting him chips.

Call all day long

this is why I put the thread up


The player insta-called which I was amazed about, on commentary. Brian then posted that it wasn't unusual and it was a call...and he does so here to

You're my hero bigman

A terrible shove for all his chips and I would be thinking before I raise to call any reraise but a shove that deep means 'please dont call' because if he had a biggy he would have put in a normal raise with 500k behind, so easy call for me.

....oh and its soooted!

Rich I remember you saying it was an extraordinary call - or something similar but I was thinking what an extraordinary shove with AJo and tbh I was surprised he was that strong but against that player in that position I would have called.  Its 3 handed SB has a big hand and the shove doesn't say 'big hand' to me and a lay down would mean he owns me from now on, its not ideal but I think the call from the SB is a lot better play than the shove from the BB.

any love for a limp reraise pre against an aggro BB?

Raise/folding and limp/re-shoving are both valid options
