I'm assuming this is a 3.4 Shake. Call and expect to see KT, KJ, flush draw, or even 77+. I don't think you can get away from this. Make a note of what he's playing this way with only 8BB's left.

I think you have to call this. Not a lot of particularly great insight, but you have a strong hand that is likely ahead and owe 900 more into a 3200 chip pot.

Re: TPGK re raised AI what to do
 

easy call. you are way ahead and he isnt that deep. he has a draw or weak king like always.

Re: TPGK re raised AI what to do
 

this is a joke right. snap [censored] call.

Re: TPGK re raised AI what to do
 

Pot committed now, but his utg limp for that much of his stack is often a trap in my experience, especially at this stage of the stt.

Re: TPGK re raised AI what to do
 

Why is everyone assuming this is a snap/easy call?

Couldn't UTG have limped with AK? Just because you would raise with it, doesn't mean someone else wouldn't.

Re: TPGK re raised AI what to do
 

Not only is OP probably ahead most of the time he's getting something like 2.5:1 with no threat of future bets. I wouldn't snap call since the limp is a bit suspicious and villain has to expect us to call considering our lead out + stack size, but I still can't see folding this pretty much ever.

Re: TPGK re raised AI what to do
 

Honestly I think the correct play is a call for a few reasons ...

A) Chip stacks. You are already pretty committed and have a very strong hand considering the lack of action pre flop. I highly doubt your out kicked as a SS would probaby push big slick PRE.

b) He could easily push weak king or draw here!

c) if he got lucky with a 2 pair, then you stretch your ham-strings and hope for runner runner!

SHiP IT!

Read on UTG? If he's been pushing like a good 'un and then suddenly limps, there's a case for c/f the flop. Otherwise, what is his open limping range? Does he do it a lot - and with what kinds of hands?

Against the average shortstack-limper at this buy-in, you're ahead more often than you are behind. He has a random K, underpair, flush draw/straight draw a lot of the time.

You're getting fantastic odds against a much shorter stacked opponent, and if you win you're in a dominating position on the bubble with a shortie giving you licence to abuse.

This is a very easy call unless you have the kind of read that says "c/f the flop", which you obviously didn't because you led out.
