Default Stars $55r bvb vs. colson

Colson knows I am a good thinking aggressive player, probably knows I am a 2+2er. Notice that I am not a random, as I believe it has a huge effect on the decision we have here. I'll give my opinion after everyone else gives theirs.

PokerStars Game #10001437275: Tournament #50008270, $50+$5 Hold'em No Limit - Level XII (800/1600) - 2007/05/19 - 18:25:52 (ET)

What do you make of the 4x, Does Colson always do this? Or just b/c hes OOP?

I think i make it 19k call a shove or just put it in there.

20bbs BvB v. A big stack, with A7, im usually going broke.

What makes this hand interesting is 4X...

I am pretty sure Colson will have already decided whether to call a push or fold...ie he will have air here some % of the time

Given that he perceives you to be aggressive, hence your pushing range is wider, than his calling range is pretty wide too. (i'm not gona put a range on it, but i would imagine it could include K high hands and Q10s+ better holdings)

It seems a pretty +EV spot, given he has air some % of the time and his calling range is pretty wide.

4x could well be to give the impression that he is calling a push...without knowing how Colson plays, I don't know how much more likely this actually makes it that he calls a push

I definitely prefer fold over push. If this was A7s I think a call would be an interesting play.

Ya, since this a hi-stakes MTT hand and everything. Thats funny. Also, I read the hand v quickly, and think its not as stndrd as I may have posted, nonetheless, youre retarded for thinking a HSMTT forum will keep out trolls and youre also retarded for thinking I'm a troll or lower stakes player. Not rly sure what u meant by that. Oh, and writing in all CAPS is super-[censored] in MOST cases.

Colson opens up a huge range BvB, and the 4bb raise still doesn't convince me to fold. Easy push.
