Dave and I disagree on how I should have played this hand earlier today at the Orleans $105 tournament. We have a wager on the consensus of this forum, so please be sure to cast your vote honestly, even if you don't feel like posting your thoughts.
Blinds/antes were 200/400/25, and I had ~ 6,700 chips. Two limpers came in, plus the small blind, and then I checked my option from the big blind with:
There were 1,850 chips in the pot when the flop came:
The small blind immediately pushed all in for 3,000 chips, so there were now 4,850 chips in the pot and I had a little over 6,000 remaining. My read on this opponent was that he had a weak offsuit ace, since this was how he had acted whenever he connected with an ace all night long. If my read was right, I should have ~ 12 outs and be in a race. This race should cost me 3,000 chips to win a pot of 7,850 if I call and everyone else folds.
Folding leaves me 6,300 chips. Calling leaves me 3,300 chips.
So what would you do in my spot? Please be honest so Dave can get me paid up.![]()
