instaCALL or instaFOLD

[pethie]

I call this all day.

villain is really weird

first orbit:

short-stack raises to 22 (he has 180 behind), i (600 behind) reraise to 72 w/AA, SB (800 behind) flat calls, short-stack pushes, i push, SB CALLS

Me: AA
short-stack: QQ
SB: KdJd

i hold up and scoop. SB about 3-4 orbits later does a weird button open limp-push over BBs raise.

hand in question:

villain is now UTG and raises to 22

i reraise AKo to 72

villain (750, i cover) pushes

insta-call?

If he was shorter, its easy call. I would prefer to fold here and lower the variance a bit. He has over a full buyin, I would rather wait for a better spot. gl

with AK, or ever? seems like AA/KK should be very happy to have this guy push in PF

[leafsrock]

insta-call. he CALLED an all-in w/ KJs. that's enough info for me.

[TheWorstPlayer]

with AK. TT is fine.

yea this is an instacall in retrospect. the guy is dumb and has shown great evidence for dumbness. i called and was shown 88. final board came JJTT2

How often do you think AK is going to out run a pair? Of course this isn't always a pair. Usually you see this from short stacks and I pulled a number out of the air and said 99. So I call donk pushes with 99 or better. This is not to suggest that this is a good or better plan, just one that eliminates another decision and opportunity to make a mistake.

Instacall, you know he does this with anything he raises/is pissed at you/both.

Sometimes you guys need more tourney donk advice. We're used to these.

[Josh.]

he barely ever needs to push with random hands to make this a good call, and he's already shown a propensity for getting all his money in preflop with fun suited hands

insta fold for me against this guy...seems like there will be plenty more opportunities to stack him

[/ QUOTE ]
not if someone else stacks him first. call this [censored].

if he stacks you, THEN you take your opportunities to get it back.

[Dan BRIGHT]

I think you should fold. The kjs hand could have been a resqueeze plus once you factor in how big his stack was at the time, I wouldnt say he was all too out of line.
