Default Re: High Stakes Poker thread (11/12 - 500k Buyin - Part 2 Spoilers aho

what do you think about Jamie's turn raise? PA bets 45k, so there is about 100k in the pot, then Jamie raises another 250k. What in the world is he gonna get called with other than the nuts in this spot? what are Jamie's options here? Call or shove? if he's going to raise at all, does it have to be all in? i guess if he raises he has to raise to at least 150k, and then he might just as well go all in, but still I can't see PA calling him here with a smaller set or two pair.
Would you ever just call with top set here for pot control?

I was skimming through all the people ripping on each other trying to find something like this. I was wondering the same thing. I didn't think he should just call, but I definitely thought he would just raise without shoving. Of course, I'm not exactly sure what the stacks were at the time. I think it would be a nice advancement for HSP to add a stack size graphic to their broadcasts. It would help a lot, in my opinion.

Anyway, it would have been cool to see Jamie raise and then Patrik shove over the top. Jamie's reaction would have been priceless. Not sure what he would have said/done, but it would have been entertaining. Plus, it would have given him the opportunity to become the world's "greatest folder."
