Default Re: Don\'t come home until u is sobern! (NC Thread)

X, at the risk of talking strategy in NC you played the hand fine. The pre-flop call of the min-raise is a no-brainer. If your opponents' stack sizes had been larger I might not have pulled the all-in move but given that the largest opposing stack was 6x the flop bet an all-in move seems by far the best way to protect your very vulnerable hand. You can't afford to pussyfoot around with a slowplaying call since your hand is very beatable or a 3x re-raise since your opponents will be pot committed and all the rest of the money will go in anyway on the turn with your situation perhaps being much worse after that card falls. Far better to try to take the hand down immediately and if your opponents call the large bet they won't be getting proper odds to chase.
