Bleh. I was fairly confident he had trash again. He decides to make a stand with 54... cuz it's s0000ted!

At least I had my money in with the best hand, and with 8-high there's not much more I can ask.

I wouldn't feel too bad since any reasonable hand beat you.

Are you serious? I had tremendous fold equity here versus most players and about 9 BBs. I need to pick up a lot of these pots when he shows weakness like he does here.

Nope.

I'm not saying I made the best play in the world either. But which play is substantially worse:

Sometimes pushing all-in with any two cards after your opponent shows weakness, while short-stacked.

Sometimes calling an all-in with 5-high after your opponent shows strength, with a 2:1 chip advantage.

The point of this post was not that I made some great play. The point of this post was this was the worst limp-call I've ever seen. I've never seen someone do this with 5-high before.

I was the villain in this hand and I knew the OP had trash, so it was a fairly easy call, and it turned out to be the right one

Yeah I agree with you, he shouldn't call with 45. I prefer to check since you still have a decent amount of blinds heads up but yeah if you're going to raise then it has to be all in. Beware though of this play, people do limp strong hands heads up in sng's for precisely this reason. His justification that he knew you had trash too is the biggest load of rubbish ever, he still can't call.
