    *** HOLE CARDS ***
    Dealt to jharding666 [9c 9h]

    Granis_SWE folds

    I can see arguments for all 3 plays here although I like calling the least.

    Your thoughts?

    At the risk of further showing my tournament donkeyness, I shove here. I give pf minraises no credit whatsoever though.
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

    m'allin. I give min-raises more credit if they raise after someone has limped but all that dead money in the pot is too enticing. Your M is just over 5, its 7 handed, I'm not waiting for a better place.

    shove here. there is a lot of money that in the pot put in by players not showing much strength. since 4 pay we probably have a good amount of fold equity. i only seeing the minraiser (3k stack) calling and even then were probably a coinflip

    Arguments for all 3 cases? I see no argument against shoving. I'd have to really know the minraiser to fold and calling's just terrible.

    I agree calling isn't great, I said its my least favourite option and it never really crossed my mind.




    (By the way the min raiser had a big pair)
