Sid Simelia 0 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Not sure about the opposition, and also I'm not the best player here.. I would call the EP's all in and play it cautiously. Most people will check it down to try and bust the short stack. If the he shoves postflop with nothing, at least that's info about the guy. Link to post Share on other sites
rog 0 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 With EP being so short, I don't think we can be sure that MP is isolating. I would think he'd be more to isolate. I think the raise to 400 is an invitation for calls behind. Either a big hand that wants a side pot, or looking to cooperate agains the shortie.In any case, I flat call here and evaluate on the flop.

timwakefield 68 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Hero's reraise is god-awful. MP is obviously never folding that, like ever. You didn't say, but I'm assuming hero is in the blinds, so he is first to act here. You also didn't say if the short stack called all-in. I think actually that pushing all in PF is a good play here.

timwakefield 68 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Ah. Either way I guess hero has to push this flop. Especially with an all-in player, villain may even fold TT or JJ here since he'll get to see hero's hand either way. Hero's mini-raise can often be read as a monster (doesn't mean I like it though).
