Default Re: calling shortstack pushes with crap

first arguable.... i'd instacall w/ 97 or 98 suited ... and there's nothing finer than a 69er.... but not 3 gappers. you have to pretty much hit gin and even then u're vulnerable to redraws. that's just too thin. keep him short. if he's read harrington his min push is 10 8... but i have seen worse suckouts to my AA push before... so i can't fault your "doesn't hurt me" reasoning. also, it falls under the 10:1 rule.... 10% of your stack to call him all in. forget that you have 2400 in blind, defend if u're going w/ that reasoning.

2nd one is easy to dump.... u're not even suited so you don't have the extra equity of a flush draw to make your hand like inherently 30% better. do not double down!!! u're playing holdem not blackjack. either kicker is losing to anything he might push. 9 10, A2, 10 J....etc.

those other guys nailed it on the head but i thought i'd figure out a funnier way to say it.
