So, I just made a deposit at Stars. Damn, I forgot how tight this place can be. Anyway, here's the situtation...I'm big blind, MP2 is an assclown who has informed me that not only do I live in my mother's basement, but I'm also a horrible poker player. Could be an egotistical jerk, could be trying to get action, I'm not quite surePStars NL Hold'em Blinds 0.25/0.50MP2 has about $6.75Hero has about $5.25 (My 10-10 ran into queens on a low board a few hands ago)Hero is dealt 10-10Folded to MP2, MP2 goes all in. Folded to me. Despite his table talk, he's been really tight. This is a tough spot for me. Do you call?

First of all , I say "Where are my cards?!!?" After I get them, I say "I'm all in" and hope he folds.

Haha, I could have sworn I'd put my cards in there. *shrug* They're there now. And it's hard to push him out when he's all in.

Might wanna look at your cards. Then probably fold.Edit: Sorry, you posted it as I was writing my response. I'd say at best you're against overcards. I'd say let it go, even though that's tough with the blinds that high.

I'm calling here.

if he's the assclown you claim he is, wait for a situation where you can outplay him. I hate the random all-in, it's probably AK, but you have a better than 50-50 shot of eliminating him in the long run. FOLD.

Me too. He doesn't have an overpair...probably just 2 overcards.You're ahead and have the correct odds to call. Since this is a cash game, calling is long term EV+.However, I'd crap my pants if I got callers behind me. Nah...very unlikely, as they'd prolly need KK/AA to call there.

How do we know he doesn't have an overpair? The dude is very tight.We're either 50/50 at best, dominated at worst. That's not the way I like to bust.

[SapphireTiger]

it's a cash game. you call here. If it was a tournament. It's a fold.

[custom36]

I folded and he didn't show his cards. I felt there was a better place for me to bust him. Unfortunately, I didn't get any cards to play against him for the next 40 minutes and then had to go to class. Oh well.

well, i shouldn't have said it like it was fact. imo, he probably does not have a big pair. why would he push all-in with AA/KK or QQ? that's a huge overbet to open a pot.and this is a call because this is a cash game.and if it were a tourney, it would depend.
