Borgata $5K: 88 in SB facing steam raise
Hand immediately prior to this one: Villain (solid player, wanted to leave the tourney to play 50/100 NLH earlier, game never got going, it's scheduled to start at 8 p.m., I think it's now about 6:45 p.m.) raises from EP, called by Tom Schneider in the SB. Flop: 6 6 2 r, check, 2/3 pot bet, call. Turn: 5, check, 2/3 pot bet, call. River: 3, no flush on board, Tom bets out 2/3 pot or so, Villain says, "How much is that bluff?", calls, Tom turns over 54o for a rivered gutshot. Villain seems incredibly pissed and mucks, I'm guessing had AA or KK.
Very next hand: 200/400/25, Villain down to 24K, I have about 70K in the SB. Villain opens in EP for 10K, splashing two 5K chips in the pot. Folded around to me in the SB, I look down at 88, and ask how much Villain has left behind. Villain counts out 14K or so behind, and says, "Just put me all in, I want to get out of here." BB is a rock, has around 60K. Your action? |

This really looks like QQ+ representing a tilt to me.
I fold without hesitation. Of course I was not there... and this hand is entirely live read dependant |

Fold. It's unlikely you have an underpair, but it's extremely likely that he has two overs. It's just unholy to get 60x BB in as a coinflip at this stage of the tournament IMO. Plus, if he's anxious to get to the cash game he's liable to just give them away in 45 minutes.

Even if someone's spewing like the biggest maniac in the world, if you let this one go "because he'll give them away soon anyway", there are 7 or 8 other people at the table who he could give them to just as easily as you. |

Re: Borgata $5K: 88 in SB facing steam raise
the fact that he plays 50/100 nl would make me think the raise was legit tilt so i'd prob stick it in.
to add, if he flipped up AK you should shove |

Is the villian a male caucasion in his late 30's with short hair, some people call him Doc? If so, he was genuinely trying to bust out and play the cash game.

Re: Borgata $5K: 88 in SB facing steam raise
Given his previous desire to leave the table to play cash and his demeanor at the time, I thought he was actually steaming and his range was ATC, which makes me about 70/30. I also figured he'd be doing it on the next hand, so this was my spot to get those chips. I made it 24K to go, BB folded, he called and turned over T9o. My hand held.

Re: Borgata $5K: 88 in SB facing steam raise
why fold when you've got a edge IMO he was trying to bustout can't be turning down those edges no matter how small/big.
