Default Re: 5CD Why do I call here?

There is no way you are good here, dump. If this were a higher stakes game I would likely feel differently but not .25/.50 6h.

Seems to me it's actually the opposite. In a higher stakes game he knows you aren't folding, and he knows you have a monster, or a very small percentage of the time total air. He isn't value pushing light without a history. Lower stakes players are more likely to overvalue a hand or do something stupid with crap. If you're going to call at high stakes, you need to know more about the player, and if you have to choose between calling at low or high stakes, I'd lean towards low.

anytime my raise is re-raised[and i've boated], my MINIMUM criteria for a call is 88899 or 999xx [xx being any pair] in a cash game... i lean towards a more suicidal approach in tourneys [any and all boats 444xx and higher]

You'd call with 88899 but not 88822? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

People frequently donk off their stacks with flushes and straights, and even sometimes trips - I don't think hard and fast rules like that work.

probably more common in tourneys, even A's up.
greggg, you're right about the 88822, i guess.
my reasoning is that on at least 2-3 occasions i've had 5's over and 4's over snapped in tourneys...and that's often enough for me to think it's not a true cooler. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
