Villian; Came to the final table as chip leader and folded his way to the money he might of played 2 hands until the money. we then became for handed and he went on a crazy run of 2 orbits in a row raising he then got 3 bet twice and i trapped him blind on blind with AA.Hes also asked for deals twice and seems to have lost a bit of patients for the game.

Hero;Chip leader has given a few walks but also raised a few, shown alot of single aces for my raises but also done it with air [but theyre not aware of this] The villian has raised my blind allin the last 2 orbits and ive folded.

[Blinds 3000/6000 ante of 300 My stack 130+6k [in bb] hes gt 28+3k]

I have  he pushes invetably and i think about it, I call.

-If i loose
-im still chipleader
-i double him up and give him a postion of power
-ive shown that ill call light, get alot more walks and see more flops with my bb and probarly make the 25k back.

I know his range is almost any 2 cards,should he be looking at his cards here?bearing in mind the other 2 have around 70-100k.

Opnions on call will post the outcome after

[Q8Holds]

I knew from the way he had played he was doing it with any two cards and that most the time my king was good but it was going to be a race. It was especially a an unorthdox call for me as i hate doubling up a small stack with a passion and have folded a7 and 77's and below. But in this situtation i really thought the call was the right option and i was also convinced by the other 2 players and the villian. That win or lose id make the money back through walks as people would think twice before raising, because since we went 4 handed it had been pretty much static for the last hour and not much happening no one raising too much and if they did it would fold around

[ ] Not an orthodox call.

+1, and good use of the double negative.

[outragous76]

trivial call

[Q8Holds]

Okay cheers it seemed to me it was a standard call but i think the 2 people not involved in the hand and a few spectators raised there eyebrows and the guy i called went off in a huff and a puff [heard from the other side of the card room going the muppet youngen internet junkie] ;-P . Everwise i wouldnt of posted but wanted to know it was a okay call. Thanks again.


-He has Q10 way above his range imo k2 holds

I wouldn't listen to what a lot of casino regs tell you. Theres a reason that they've been grinding the same tournaments in the same casino for 20+ years

I doubt you flashing them an ace occasionally when you raise is going to make them think that you aren't ever raising with "air"

Keep your cards face down IMO

if i had a £1 coin for every time a bitter old man had told someone at the roulette wheel next too the cash game at gala what a bad call id made then I wouldnt need to play cash at gala

and MASSIVE plus1s to keeping your cards face down, flashing Aces doesnt really mean anything, except you probably had  and were gonna fold if someone shoved....not that anyone pays a blind piece of noitice anyway.

i love people who "show the ace"

i usually like to show a 7 or a 3
