call with fist pump

call. i expect to lose this sometimes, but win it the majority of the time. i would not fist pump like GM, but because he is not full, and only has 55 hands tells me that he is prolly some tournament donkey who thinks top pair is the nutz.

In other words, "lol donkaments!"

I call, too. You'll pay off sets sometimes but it comes with the territory.

other than reloading pf and gettin my CB a lil bigger (~$30), i call for same reasons given.

he had JJ which was bizarre to me. 22 makes more sense I'd think? but anyway yea I instacalled.

Re: NL 200 AA, facing CRAI on a dry flop
 

i don't get how this is an easy call. is he really taking AK all the way here?

it's a crappy spot, and confusing as well, since he's getting so little value if he has a set or 2p.

Set mining with JJ, Interesting... Yep, he's a donkey.

I don't play near these limits so please help me understand why this is such an easy call. I usually fold in spots like this...
Before you call me weak tight: I think his range for doing this is a set, AK, KJ, QT. What else do you expect him to CRAI with?

Easy call? Sheesh, it's not even close to an easy call and I'm a total station.
