Default Re: $1060 WSOP, river decision against Shannon Elizabeth

I've thoguht about this some more, if we had like a 20k stack i think i'd like calling a lot more, but w/ 7k it's such a high variance play for >10% of our stack. does this make sense at all? This is assuming she has 6k when she opens. So effective stacks are the same, but 800 hurts us more as a 7k stack.

My first instinct is that this is a pretty basic fold PF.

I am only restealing if Shannon has been active, raising alot, or showing reluctance to call off her stack. It is not because 'oh she raised the button, i have 97 soooted, puuusshhh'.

I probably start calling around 20k, maybe 16k+ depending on the player and my image.

Please raise/fold pre flop.

If you reraise and she calls, please suck out and teach that biatch a lesson.

I rarely flat call short stacked preflop, but this is a good situation for a flat call. You are getting pot odds in BB, you have a suited gapper which connects with a lot of flops, and you have an opponent who is not a strong player.

If you call, you don't have to automatically give the pot to the preflop raiser if you miss. The general plan would be to checkraise allin with any pair or draw, but you can also do that with air.

Forget about the preflop decision. These tournaments are a crapshoot after an hour and a half. I really think seeing a flop now isn't so bad, as compared to shoving any two in the next hour.

I really hate re-stealing if I am not intending to call a shove.


But my main question is about the river


PS her raise was from the CO

? Obviously any resteal is allin. The raise was to 1200 and we have only about 5k more in play.
