I am reading through gobboboy's
hand history from his 3rd place finish in last night's $45k on Stars. This hand sorta puzzled me. First off, I've noticed he very rarely folds any pocket pair preflop. In most cases up to this hand, I had been generally okay with that, but I am really having a hard time understanding the logic behind making this call.
Obviously he's a very good player, so I'm not preaching saying he played this wrong. I simply would like to hear from him (or someone of higher skill) the rationale behind calling this all in. Thanks!
