Dont be results orientated

Really Easy Call.

Your M is 7. I don't like your raise to 1000, I would raise all-in.

After your call and the button raise, you have to put it all in the middle.

Yeah definitely call. I would generally just push right from the get go, but I like your raise too. I think it will encourage weaker hands to push over the top.

i like what a quote from Scott Fishman, "winning isn't the goal, its making good decisions at the poker table." you made the right decision, i would also like to just go all in here with the blinds this high, if he has a better hand then hope to get lucky [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

Shove preflop and avoid this situation
