I never would have gotten in with that hand after it was raised pre-flop to begin with, but that's my opinion. After the flop, I don't have a problem with the call, but calling the all-in on the turn??!!?? That's definitely time to let it go. You'd still be in pretty decent shape in relation to the blinds.

Is it just me or is this thread taking on a RGP feel all of the sudden? :shock:

First of all, why are you not raising in late position with this hand if it is folded around to you or only one limper??I also agree that you should have raised on the flop.

If I'm reraised by that much from the SB, I'm going to assume that he has to have some sort of solid hand here to be reraising out of position. I took my shot at the pot with A9, it didn't work, I'm going to fold and keep my still large stack in relation to the blinds. I'm trying to work on my tourney play, and I'm pretty sure that I can find a better hand a
