shinychicken 0 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 no, there is no need to. He puts you to a choice and it should be the other way around. Link to post Share on other sites
Juandastyle 0 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Why risk doubling him up w/ a marginal hand.... wait for a better one, just because you have a lot more chips than him doesn't mean it's ok to donk off some more w/ 7 2 suited...Or call w/ it and outdraw his AK... whatever.^ ^ Link to post Share on other sites
ford14 0 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Nope. Blinds are too high for his chip stack, put him in a position that he has to push in with crap. You are a favorite agaist almost nothing. There's no reason to double him up here and be pretty much even in chips. Link to post Share on other sites
Pupsta 0 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 even though harrington says it's incorrect, with as short as he is, i fold this in the sb...too much of a chance he'll push when he only has 5bbish left Link to post Share on other sites
drumbum1973 0 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Well since he has pretty much pot comitted himself with the raise, thenyou are more or less CALLING his allin with 7-2 .The only way your gonna push there is you push first and put him to the test., but i still think I would wait for a better situation.

Socrates 0 Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Why do people feel they need to take chances against short stacks that they normally wouldn't? I mean, you are giving up a good portion of your chips and will most likely keep this player in the game.Re-rasing a short stack with 72 is a donkey move Link to post Share on other sites

Advanex13 0 Posted December 5, 2005 Author Share Posted December 5, 2005 Well, he had 95 suited. He was trying to make a play to take the blinds.I hit my 7 and it was over for him.I appreciate the input though...I always push on the short stacks. My style is to push push push...even doubling him up still leaves me as almost 2-1 on his chips. Link to post Share on other sites

alexquigley 0 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Maybe it is the new thing here...all threads are actually sarcastic threads, and people just post them for the hell of it. HORRIBLE PLAY BY BOTH'UM YUZ! Link to post Share on other sites
Advanex13 0 Posted December 6, 2005 Author Share Posted December 6, 2005 Of course he's short stacked, of course I'm basically calling his all in, but I was the one that put him in for the rest of his chips. He had a marginal hand - as I did - and heads up..if I was to double him up it wasn't a huge loss to myself.Putting him all in is not the same as calling it. I wanted to either end it or if I doubled him up, pick a spot at a different time. Atleast with a bigger stack he won't be forced to try and make plays on the blinds *every* hand.
