Default Re: Dude cold calls for half his stack preflop, just give up?

When you make a move like this, you really need to take stack sizes into consideration. This is just a very awkward spot to make a move like this. You are sticking in >1/3rd of you stack to make the move, so you aren't going anywhere if you get shoved on.

So, when putting in this much you might as well shove. But, shoving kinda sucks here this deep. So, I'd just fold simply because of the awkwardness of the stacks.

As the hand actually played out, I'd probably just shove and hope to get TT, or AK/AQ to fold. But, it's a [censored] spot. However, you care getting a good price on a shove here.
