Default Re: Do you make this call?

[ QUOTE ]
This is VERY opponent specific. But, against any of the short buy-in/ratholing types that are in the NL games right now, that like to shove with stuff like suited A3wx, this is a MUST call, or you have no business being at the table.

Especially with $200 in front of you. The only way you can refuse this profitably is if you are playing a big stack and trying to outplay other big stacks.

Opponent had him covered, so unless there is a specific read that this player likes to mix it up, his stack size minimizes the likelihood that he is playing a rathole-style and pushing any suited A3wx hands. I think this is almost always AAxx, and since so many players will do this with any two aces, I think it's almost impossible to determine the xx based on the push.

Even if we could narrow the xx down to a particular range, are we ever far enough ahead to feel confident that we have positive expectation?
