Ok was playing a mini-turni with my family 4 of us. My wife is first out so it was down to three of us. My motherinlaw had twice the chip stack as I do and my fatherinlaw had about 125 less than I did.Thats the setup now my question is would you have called this bet.

wont tell you what I had till afterwards....Also I was not pushing or anything actually was playing pretty tight due to the person next to me had a huge chiplead and called and raised afterwards and I never had anything so.


Ok my father in law gets delt K 10 offsuit. He raised 3BB. I go all-in would you call? This is all preflop

Depends on the size of the blind vs the stack... need more info

the blinds where 10/20 (not a real game blinds didnt increase) Stack I would estimate at 600-800

then no, probably not

IMO, there's no hand where you should be pushing a 30-40 blind stack to a 3 blind raise unless you have a pretty perfect read. You'd be losing value on your real premium hands. I'm guessing since you posted this, you made this play with a mediocre hand and lost. Your all in raise here actually indicates weakness rather than strength.

I had pocket 9's. I've been playing with him for a long time so I was pretty sure he didnt have anything. I knew I had him beat at the time. Yes of course he catches his king on the river. Funny thing is he said he knew I had pocket pair. Maybe im to tight cause if I put someone on a pocket pair I dont think I would of called with a K10

Well if he put you on a pp lower than ten, then his call is pretty easily justifiable. He'd already put in 3 and you raised 27 more to 30 which means he was putting in 27 to win a 33 pot which give ~1.2:1 pot odds which is enough to justify the small disadvatage from being the one with the overcards.

hmm maybe. thanks for replying so fast nomanner appreciate it.

I don't like your push all in with 99. The only time you're getting called is when someone has you beat with a higher pair, or they have two overcards. So let's say most of the time you're stealing 3xBB (which is only 60 right?), sometimes you will get called by a hand that crushes you, and often you will get into a coin flip hand.
I personally don't like being involved in coin flip hands. Sometimes it's inevitable due to late tournament blind sizes, short stack, etc. but since you said the blinds never went up there was no reason to risk everything on a 50/50 coin flip.
