Default Re: How do you interpret a stupidly big reraise allin?

Actually I agree with all of you. I am happy that I did the right thing when I instacalled this. Only as a second thought the 'why did I even bother?' argument crossed my mind so wanted to see if it is something anyone would advocate here.

To my surprise he showed AA. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I hit the miracle nut flush on the river except the flop was A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

I didn't really think anyone would play AA this way. but the problem was, this guy sucked.

I checked him up on pokerdb, found he never won any significant money playing MTTs although he made into small money here and there (more than 20 times and usually the minimum prize) over the last 8 month or so. I don't know how many tournies he played, but it definately looks like he is losing money playing them.

All of his small wins were in the lower buy-in tournies, mostly $3 rebuys and $11 freezes. So he was also out of his comfort zone here.

I wonder if this information would have changed my decision if I had it at that time.

Anyway, just for fun, obviously he became the chip leader after this. He went all-in again two hands later to a limper. I gave him an lol and he proudly said 'QQ'. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Two hands later, I raised 3x BB with A9s and he shoved again! Had to call due to pot odds this time and he showed 88 finishing my tourney there. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
