Default 20: Dicked spot early

DogCrap is another fine player who raises UTG with 40BB, gets RRed by button with 50BB, and then 4-bets all in with A10o. This is my first open raise, I've been card dead thus far.

25/50
Hero (1,525), MP2
Dogcrap (2,033), BB

Folds to Hero with 10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 10 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] who raises to 175, folds to Dogcrap who raises to 750, Hero pushes.

i think you're never better than 50/50 here so i think its pretty much jus ta matter of whether or not you can stand the variance.

i think i fold, but in the heat of the moment i might take this. coinflips early are so meh though.

most of the time its 45:55 - adding the pot odds and this maniac player, who might play A9 as well i think it's fine

Well if ATo is in his 4bet range, I'll wager that A9s and A8s may be as well, on top of several pocket pairs that you have utterly destroyed. Sure, he could have two overs here (and you know you're getting called regardless), but you're definitely ahead of his range.

I like it.

has 3.5x been the standard at this table? Any chance he reads it as weakness and is trying to exploit? Considering your read on the guy, looks good.
