Push pf and expect to be called as a 4-1 fav. As played, very easy flop fold, but I prefer to check and see what happens, probably calling unless a ep player bets or there's other action.

If you push 150 BBs, are you really getting called by a worse hand in the 55+R+A? I've never played it. Sounds fun.

I doubt you're getting called by much pushing this PF in this tournament, if it's a normal $22+R or something I would consider it.

If anyone's actually wondering, I tanked, and eventually called. Villain showed me AQ yuck. I posted as this is one of those rare times I actually called a massive overbet and was wrong on my read. I still don't see why he was pushing AQ, though.

Fold. If he happens to have exactly 45, good for him; you're not beating anything else.

What did you put him on when you decided to call? AQ makes a lot more sense to me than anything you beat.

Honestly I just wasn't sure and the way he played his earlier hand with 2 overs made me think he either had something like AK or a lower PP than mine.

At the time I knew it was probably going to be a bad call, but as I said he pushed over a bet earlier in the tournament with 2 overs (drawing to a gut shot I guess in that one) and he played his other previous top pair incredibly weak (for good reason with a 5 kicker I suppose).

It was a bad call, I confess.... Although there have been times that I've called massive over-bets like this and the Villain has absolute junk, so I guess you win some and you lose some.

Nope, it really isn't. I'm a tard sometimes, and thought I might be making a nice call [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

With three people to act after his all-in, the only hand you beat is 4x5x, which I feel is unlikely for him here.

This is not the time to make some hero call with 2nd pair.
