Any stats? Any reason why you didn't just call or make a smaller re-raise?
You're so far away from desparation at this point...there's no way this can be +EVBOSS

A smaller re raise will just committ him to the pot though. He'd have to put in at least half his stack PF to have any fold equity at all!

I don't like it for 2 reasons:
- the pf raise doesn't indicate AA to me, but a hand that doesn't want to see a flop, like AK or QQ-. You're way behind that range
- your stack is too large, no reason to go crazy here. With an M of 10 or less I like this play better. Even then, if you get called you're never better than a coinflip.

Very good points, what are you doing then? Calling or folding? (I presume folding) Originally Posted by DaFish

I probably call, then fold the flop to any action.

Although I may not be the best poker player out there, I'd fold to a bet that size. It's a low pair, and I figure that the odds of winning with a bet like that would be rather low. Best case, two over cards. Worst, a higher pair. Either way, my odds of winning are too low to risk... what was it? 20% of your stack to call?

1/5 of your stack to hit a 6? You're guaranteed he is going to bet the flop if you check to him. Folding > calling imo. Originally Posted by HSM

I know, never said it was a good play but I'd probably do it. Originally Posted by jharding666
