In a home tournament blinds are 3/6 and I'm short stacked thanks to my Boat being the small one. I'm UTG and go all in for my remaining $18 with A8 Hearts. I'm known as a very tight player and everyone folds back to the big blind. He calls me with 34 off suit. And says "It only cost me $12 and I got the chips". Well of course you know what happen. He flopped a 4 and I was watching Football. Anyway initial reaction I was very hot. Was he right to call with that garbage to take me out?Thanks

He called your all-in with 34o??!!?? I know its only 3x BB, but how the hell could he call an all-in with that?
Hey, I don't have all the answers in life. To be honest, I've failed as much as I've succeeded, but I love my wife, I love my life, and I wish you my kind of success.

He's getting better than 2 to 1 on his call, so for it to be incorrect he needs to be a signifigant underdog.
