1st hand w/ AKs-5.50 SNG on FT-call all in or fold PF

just as the title states...
FT 9 handed-blinds 15-30
t1500 stacks
Hero is on the button with A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
3 folds to MP1 who raises to 90.
CO calls 90.
Hero raises to 350 (just about 4x the initial raise).
All fold back to MP1 who folds. CO shoves all in.
Now, I cannot see him with anything better than pocket 10s. He is obviously putting me on what I have, but I think that he is gambling and has been caught OOP. I am sure that he can't play post-flop.
Hero calls. CO shows 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
Pot-t3130
Was this a mistake for me to call regardless of my preliminary read?

Don't raise, just call the 90.

Don't raise here unless you want to get all your chips in pre-flop.

Although I have position, I want to limit the field here. I can't be sure that I will hit the flop and I want to make a strong move to get a better sense of where I am at with MP1. I have a good idea that CO is on 2 suited broadway that I have beat or a mid-PP.

what do you think of COs shove with pocket 7s?

RexWoo · #6 06-06-2007, 06:27 AM

CO's shove is retarded but you should have called.

Hero did call.

It would have been a lot different had orignal raiser shoved but CO shoving after calling the first raise, they will very rarely flip over AA/KK so easy call. Flipping at worst here.

Calling this Pre Flop is a better option especially as you are on the button.

Re-raising and getting a caller will suck as when you miss the flop any post flop bet commits you to the pot.

RexWoo · #8 06-06-2007, 08:59 AM

should _NOT_ have called, sorry.

I would call quickly you will have them dominated a ton at this limit.

im not a massive fan of the 3 bet pf. just call it with position then act from there. such a donk shoving with 77, there just retards. 1st hand and he wants to get in a coinflip. but at this level expect nothing else
