DLizzle 0 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 6500 guarantee on Full TiltBlinds 1500/3000, antes 250. 5 left, im in the bb with 12000. The low stack with 9000 goes all in. on the button. The sb, a big stack, raises putting me all in. I have KQ. Easy fold you say. Well I didn't think and called, but afterwords decided it wasn't all that bad. Here's why:I put shortstack on pretty much anything decent. any high card, pair, suited connector, etc. He's desperate. Sb could have any pair, A5 and up, any K down to K9, maybe a Q10. If I don't call here, the shortstack has a reasonable chance of doubling up, in which case my M would be under 2 and I'd almost certainly go out in fifth. If he goes out I'm guaranteed 4th and have a shot to move up.If I call, the short stacks chances of survival are reduced, and I have him covered before the hand so if we are both eliminated I take 4th. If I call, lose and the short stack wins, I take fifth. If I win, I'm in good chip position and have a legitimate shot at first. Discuss the options here. Link to post Share on other sites
Swift_Psycho 1 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I'm not against the call. What was the payout structure, out of curiosity? Link to post Share on other sites
