Losing a race with AK, no wai!!!

Re: just me or is this redonkulous?
 

rebuy!

Re: just me or is this redonkulous?
 

its not a rebuy. And that is just bad play from a player that gets so much respect for his play.

Re: just me or is this redonkulous?
 

not really that bad.

Re: just me or is this redonkulous?
 

Yeah, aggression often pays off in tournaments. Doesn't seem that bad to me, although yes, I agree it isn't the best play on his part.

Re: just me or is this redonkulous?
 

I'm trying to understand why this isn't terrible. Help plz.

Re: just me or is this redonkulous?
 

Absent a read he had on you, it's not good. It probably does wonders for his image, tho.

Because the steal bet form the CO with QT is not terrible..it's just being a bully which is fine.
OP stack size is awkward. He shoves and the pot is 2000 (?)and he now villian has to bet 1100 more into a pot of 2000. He's getting 2 to one on his call and likely in his mind hes either a coin flip against a small pair ,+_ 40 60 against an AJ etc, and only worse against AK or AQ. So he calls. The stack sizes played this for him...

Soemtimes he folds this (tight player and you know 2 to 1 isn't enough), sometimes he calls. My bet is OP hasn't been a nit.

That's all I can come up with... with Villians stack I personally may fold, and find a better spot.

Re: just me or is this redonkulous?
 

1) if hes got you on a med-low PP (44-99) its a clear call
2)if hes got you on AK,AJ,Ax, borderline.
3)A-10, A-Q FOLD
.
i think we can rule out a big pocket as part of heros range. looks like a fold here, personally, but i dont think a call getting those odds is as bad as OP THINKS.
