slupo 0 Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 I was playing an online tourney. $800 in chips. Blinds were $25-50. 6 fold to me. I call with A-10 suited. The button raise to $100. SB pushes with about the same chips as me ($850) but has me covered. BB folds. Action is back to me. I'm pretty short stacked at this point. Blinds were going to go up to $50-100 soon. SB has playing a somewhat average game. Not overly tight or agressive. I decide to call.What do you think of this move? Link to post Share on other sites

Vade 0 Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Nope, find a better spot. I'd be okay if you were the one moving all in, but not with making a call here.A-10 suited is dominated by too many hands Link to post Share on other sites
slupo 0 Posted May 16, 2005 Author Share Posted May 16, 2005 I wasn't crazy about the move either. One of those "I know shouldn't be doing this BUT..."How does the fact the SB is making this move factor into it? I'm always a bit unsure how to take an agressive bet from a blind.

Vade 0 Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Don't mess around with SB raises usually. Unless you're the BB of course. Being one of the last people in the pot preflop, gives you a lot of power. I would rather have AA from the small blind then just about any other spot. Link to post Share on other sites
poguemahone68 0 Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Generally, if it folded to me in the CO and I have ATs, I'm raising. Calling here is too weak. After you came in the button made the minimum raise and then the SB moved all-in. I believe you have to fold, cause now you also might be up against the button, should he decide to call as well. ATs is just not worth calling all your chips with. You'll probably find a better spot where you are the aggressor.I'm always suspicious when someone raises so much, but the stacks were pretty small against the blinds. That's one of the reasons I don't play tournies at sites with low starting chips like Party Poker anymore.Was this a sit-n-go? Party Poker? Link to post Share on other sites
