interesting hand

Hey guys, this was the last hand heads up in a single table tournament. Just curious what you guys this about my call to go all in on a PP of 3's.

I came in second for the first time and won some cash. Not to mention I made a come back from 169 chips!! After being wiped out catching a straight off the flop then having the river provide a higher straight.

Figure you're at BEST a coinflip, if not way worse, maybe a huge underdog to a higher pp. I'd fold here, i usually like to be the one doing the betting with a low pp in a tourney headsup.

What u guys cant see is that i had a really good read on this person, they were really tired, and couldnt care less since they had alreardy made a money spot. We had been callin all in back and forth, so i figure i have the PP im already 1 pair ahead and took my chances.

update i came in secound again tonight after going bully crazy and making a call i knew shouldnt. Still made $

Read or no read. 33 means that this WILL be a coin flip. What else could he have? 32?

Do you really want to put your tournament on a 50/50 chance?

The very high blinds mean that calling with a slight favorite is probably the correct play. If he folds he'll be down almost 2-1 in chips.

^^^^ What he said... ^^^^

That is also true, with those very high blinds having a PP heads up could be a great chance to take your opponent down, so i believed but luck didnt come my way.

Last night I was heads up with J 8 suited clubs. Flop is like 2 6 J of clubs. I call all in. I get get called. Player shows Ace and 9 of clubs. I went down. But still made $ :D [/u]
