Out of two of them. What do you think of this call? No reads other than he was playing a lot of pots.

I reckon there are enough times you're more than a coin flip ahead here to make this call fine.

I think this hand fits in the fits in the category of:

Also, don't be afraid to shove your stack in there if a squeeze appears or someone won't leave your BB alone. Don't shy from races at this stage they are necessary in tourneys even in these middle stages.

From Shaundeeb's post a couple of days ago linky

I do wonder if there is a lower variance (yet potentiallystill winning) style which would involve folding here, but I don't think I'm experienced enough, or good enough to understand if there is.

What would you have done with TT?

[kleath]

I hellmuth call with those jacks.

Sometimes this game hurts... GL all - I'll ship the challenge money in the morning...

Tory that is brutal! On the weekend I had in consecutive 4/180s a 20th with AA &lt; Q10 and a 19th with KK &lt; 55.

I noticed you playing a bunch of the 2.2R WSOP sats on Stars on the weekend. How you going with them? They're crazy after the break, it's such a gamble of 'will my 20k stack be enough to get through the blinds by the time they get to me?'

I call here as well for the same reasons I would call with JJ.
I expect to see small, mid pocket pairs, AJ+, or even suited face cards a lot of the times. I dont mind a flip vs. overs and I need chips. Might even catch a random bluff some of the times.

[Valsuvious]

This wasn't during the challenge, but finished up right after we started it. I was shortish at the table, and the entire reason that I min bet again at the start was in hopes that a big stack would call, either way I wasn't folding after the flop considering I was the short stack
