I'll set you up so that you are in my seat. A friendly small time home poker game....First a little background info on the guy I called....Tim is a very technical, very sound player, but very influential as most under a few brews. Well, the hand prior to our showdown he got knocked out of our tourney leaving 4 players and costing him an additional $50 for a rebuy of $100 worth of chips. I'm 3rd to act out of 4 players at this point in our hand and he is in 2nd position. I hold Ad and Qc. The first player calls the $20 blind, the 2nd folds, and the action is on Tim....he goes all in for a $80 raise (with his $20 call- thus, all of his chips) and the action is on me.....well, my thinking is that there are only 3 hands that can have me down big time pre-flop, pocket Aces, pocket Kings, or Ace King...add to the fact that anything of a pocket pair and I'm in tight race I figured I'd take a small gamble with my AQ.......He flips over Kh and Js and is rather confused about my call.....needless to say the Ace holds up, pairing on the flop and he gets all woman-like.......Explain this to me!
Me,a known by everyone at the table as a calculated risk-taker sitting after you and you just go all in right after getting a boot and rebuying back into the tourney? Seriously, what do you think the odds are of me calling you with AQ and trying to double up late in the night? And how do you get PO'd losing to A's on the flop after being 62.37% favorite (per CardPlayer.com) and a 97.27% after the flop lands?
Just thought I'd provide the forum with a little table action. Your thoughts?
