Re: 5CD Why do I call here?
 

anytime my raise is re-raised[and i've boated], my MINIMUM criteria for a call is 88899 or 999xx [xx being any pair] in a cash game... i lean towards a more suicidal approach in tourneys [any and all boats 444xx and higher]

You'd call with 88899 but not 88822? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

People frequently donk off their stacks with flushes and straights, and even sometimes trips - I don't think hard and fast rules like that work.

probably more common in tourneys, even A's up.
greggg, you're right about the 88822, i guess.
my reasoning is that on at least 2-3 occasions i've had 5's over and 4's over snapped in tourneys...and that's often enough for me to think it's not a true cooler. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
