First hand so no reads? or do I..
So before I pushed back all in. I quickly checked his sharkscope he was negative 465 over X SNG's. I quickly realized this guy is a fish and I push back. Anyone like it?

No early to flip for me.

KPL · #3 06-13-2006, 05:03 AM

No, I just call the raise this early.

snakekilla88 · #4 06-13-2006, 05:15 AM

yeah, usually its a standard call but with such a big fish on my hands I was willing to take a gamble since I figured coinflip at worst, domination at best.

Why do you want a coin flip against a fish?? You have the whole tournament to outplay him.

Even if he's on a total bluff and has two lower unpaired cards you're only a 5-3 favourite. I wouldn't put my tournament on the line first hand with those kind of odds.

wtf?

I agree it's not a push, but saying that is just silly.

Why?

If someone goes all in before the flop early on in a tournament and I am almost certain it's a coinflip at worst I will always call. Doubling up on the first hand gives you such an advantage that it is worth the gamble. IMO

If it was a turbo I might agree with you. But if you think someone is a fish then you can surely find better spots to get money from them than a coinflip.
