I had the feeling that the CO is pushing with a wide range of hands (he's been tight all through out the game and suddenly became active).
Anyway throwing this assumption out would you go for it or look for a better spot?
Full Tilt Poker, $5 + $0.50 NL Hold'em Sit n' Go, 80/160 Blinds, 5 Players
LeggoPoker.com - Hand History Converter
CO: 1,515
Hero (BTN): 2,970
SB: 4,685
BB: 2,035
UTG: 2,295
Pre-Flop: (240) Q A dealt to Hero (BTN)
UTG folds, CO raises to 1,515 and is All-In
Hero: ??? |

I don't think either calling or folding are bad choices here, although I think I'd fold.
You have a nice stack, so I think you can afford to wait a little. If the SB calls/shoves over the top you're in a bad spot. Best scenario is that the BB calls and you either lose a player or have one crippled on 500 chips. |

If he has been tight the whole game why think he is pushing with anything?
You may be right but you are on the bubble if playing 1 table or 2 table and your calling range should be very selective. Call and you swap stacks with him if he wins. It cost nothing to fold and you have 2 others to act behind you. This applies to your post about bubble play too.
I fold this reluctantly.
BTW i played in at least one tourney with you. Looked back at the hand history and you were solid till the hand you busted on, and i must say you donked off your 2900 chips in 11th.
I'm not trying to be a smart ass. You seem very likable and this is a great place to get help altho everytime I think I've gotten so wise from all this info I go through a real downswing.
GL and I hope to play with you again soon. |

Hey Sand Wedge, I don't remember which tourney that was but yeah, I do donk of my chips from time to time (probably most of the time lately, lol).
No worries, I love hearing input from you guys. I didn't really think he was raising with anything though, as I was put him on a range of 66+, A5+, probably KJ.
Now that I've really thought about it why didn't I try this out with pokerstove?
Anyway thanks for the input! |
