Re: Good Folds in the Stars 50k?
 

been playing the 50 latey and am amazed how loose the play is in a bad way...i've loosened up my ranges as people seem intent on making plays without great hands

Re: Good Folds in the Stars 50k?
 

But your reverse implied odds are somewhat offset by the fact that if he has AJ/A10 you may get in a value bet at the end. The math here is fuzzy and I can't see myself applying it in 15 seconds, but I probably make the call. I think you need to set some kind of a plan as to how much more you are willing to put in if an A/Q comes out, which is hard.

If you call, what will you do if UTG pushes behind you - which is somehow likely here.

Should've mentioned that as a reason for calling -- UTG cannot push here

why?

Because SB's all-in is less than a minimum re-raise, it's not viewed upon as a raise according to poker rules, and may therefore not be raised again by UTG.

Call / push in hand 1 dependant on reads on UTG and fold hand 2.
