Min reraise means putting in 900 out of your 2900 chips, that is a terrible play.

Against a maniac I would have just pushed.

Pot is going to be half your stack and you will have no idea where you are in the hand.

I don't understand the point of flat calling since you said he would bet any flop. About half the flops will come with an overcard.

Why were you 7 handed, was this a SnG?

Then if you view JJ as a middle of the range hand for him to go all in, you are giving yourself 50% odds on whether you are ahead or not and you are willing to put all your chips on the line for this?

yes.

you are forgetting some important things.

What important things are they? I understand even if you gave yourself 60:40 you could say it is long term +ve. But if you view his hand as "middle of the road" and the BB is about 1/100th of the all in, you really are just having a random even money gamble.

Or are you happy to take a 50:50 viewing that if you win it is increasing your chances of 1st place enough, relative to not taking the gamble, to compenstae for the times you lose?

if you are a better player you should always avoid close gamles and save your chips for a better time.

BTW Wota... check ur PMs for once... set ur control panel to alerrt you when you get them

First, I dont agree with your 50/50. Second, is he only raising with hands he will call all-in with?

If you feel this, your "feeler" raise is retarded and you are just spewing chips. Fold.

I really hate that call pre-flop. I don't see what it accomplishes, so I am just pushing it in here. I'm thinking my Jacks are ahead, so I don't want to get cute with them.

Nice insult. Now care to point out what I am forgetting?

It wasnt my 50:50 view it was Marm's.

I don't see where marm said it was 50/50. He said the guy was entering 50% of pots.

You are forgetting fold equity.

You can't raise for info here pre-flop, it is too expensive.

As is flat calling IMO.

Too many flops will be scary, and you will have no idea where you are in the hand.

All-in or fold. If you don't want to go all-in, fold.

I fold here this early without a read. If this guy has done it before, I push.
