don't think it matters that much in a $5.50. KK and AA are unlikely so you're likely to be racing, but worse aces are also in his range.

so...fold? or call? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Probably call out of curiosity if the $5.50 doesn't bother me that much.

Call, lose to 33.
PPL love to do this with weaker aces too, that's why we can't fold.

Call

Fold. Come on guys - call? That is just wrong.

So you are saying 50/50 chance to either gain a TINY amount of equity or lose everything.

Calling is BAD. It's to early (can you get any earlier?).

Winning 1500 chips is not that meaningful and losing 1500 is bad.

Win - you double your equity which is nice but in reality does little to win you money. Lose to garbage cards and you are toast sitting there with a silly grin on your face.

You have no clue how this player is and are sitting there with a drawing hand.

Hand like this happened to me last night. Guy had 83s and pushed. I knew he had garbage and my AK was sweet. He hit his 83 for two pair and I sat there stunned after 15 hands on a table or morons!

It's early - let the others eat their own and you pick up the pieces when the blinds really count. 3000 chips are meaningless early.

Sharkscope player.

If winning player, then fold.

If losing player, then call.

If blocked stats...
