so you have 4K in chipsyou have already invest 3.2K up to this pointdo you call 800 more?do you need to ask?

[RISEorFall]

I was about to do the math, glad I saw Absolute did it first :-) Push on the turn. There's something like 3600 in the pot. you have 2800 left. Betting 2000 then even considering folding is bad.

Intersting. I could fold and with the way they were playing feel I'd have a shot a still taking first. With the blinds at that level I could fold and reuild off the other two small stacks. I've been in worse positions before. You still call if you think you're beat?

you'd have 8xBB and leave the BB massively big stacked. The best players in the world would have a really hard time overcoming that difference on skill alone. You would have to get extremely lucky.

BTW, Qualifier. Only first pays. Why push? If you think you've got him he might fold to a push.

[RISEorFall]

Because you leave him the option to reraise you, and now you're wonering if you should call. That's why you push when you're sure you've got the best hand.

[Sindri]

I guess $2k is a strange bet. It was in the heat of battle and I figured I had the best hand until the reraise. Also, with the way the other two were palying I would have pick up quite a bit. Maybe not enough but like I said I've been in worse positions and climbed out.

[Sindri]

Ok change the amounts a bit and then would you call. Lets say I had $4000 left and he put me all in. My point was more the cards than the money. I was trying to figure his hand out. Was he holding A-T or on a draw of some sort. He called the bet on the flop and then check raised me. Even if it was only $800 it would bust me out.

Yeah... still gotta agree with the fellas on this one. Here he's puttin you on a decision rather than vice versa. Only things that got ya beat are a set or two pair, and you still would have outs even if that were true. No straight or flush draws likely.Not really even a question... Only thing is, ya gotta wonder what this guy is playing with if he's pushin so hard with an Ace on the board. Maybe he's got two pair... or maybe he thinks you would have gone all in if you knew you had the nutz kicker. Really depends on his type of play. Either way though, you are absolutely all in in this situation.

[Absolute]

pushing on the turn would have been best, but it didnt happenthe question at hand is should the allin be called and the answer is yes

[Sindri]

Well, I agree with you guys on calling. I had a bad feelinf but called anyway after thinking it through. He torned over 3-5 os and I was gone.His play was nuts and brilliant at the same time. No way I could put him on that hand. My only hope is I get lucky enough to do the same to someone else one day.What a great move huh?

[akishore]

i disagree!!!pushing on the turn is NOT the best move, IMO.you WANT worse hands to raise you. they might fold if you push.(this is an easy call, of course.)the bet 2000 is correct IF you intend to call a raise all-in.if you intend to fold to an all-in, pushing all-in doesn't make any sense, as you'll normally only get called when you're beat.aseem

[RonBurgundy]

the pot is 8400 if im right.400x3=1200800x3=24002000+2800=4800so youre getting 10.5 to 1 to callif your hand is good 1 in 11,5 times, call.so yea, call.

[dharris]

Your opponent called a 3BB raise with 35 os? Yikes. Anyway, the hand I would really be worried about at the all in point is A 10. Otherwise, I would think that I have it. Like others have said, with so much invested at this point, it is a call for sure.
