How did I play this like I was on crack? A player with a little amount of chips goes all in. I re-raise to isolate the player. I am representing strength here. Its not my fault that the other player called my bet. I could see if I was the one calling the bet with sevens but I represented strength. I knew I had the other guy beat and I wanted it to be one on one. What do you want me to do ...call the raise and have the other guy call too, then move in on me on the flop. Then I have to throw my hand away. If I call, he raises me all in then I have to throw in my hand. If I just raise a little bit he still calls and could take the pot from me later. I felt an all in re-raise was necessary here. He made the mistake, not me.

Anyone else care to comment on how the hand was played?
