    Is a tough call...

    On one hand might be on semi tilt from that last hand where he lost half his chips and is wanting to get them back right away, and is hoping to just steal the raising chips in the pot... but on the other hand he might have just been delt AA or KK and took advantage of the last hand to make it look like he's on tilt?

    My guess is more PP (JJ-99) or mabey A/Ks A/Qs

    Personally I would probably call hoping to get a nice pot here but I know alot of people will say fold and look for a better time to get his chips.

    But then again I like to Gamb00l sometimes and with the people I play live with I wouldn't even think twice about calling this one, as I have seen them push many times with low pp's or A/Ks A/Qs.

    Depends on your read of the table.

    Also would depend alot on the touney for me as well.. I see blinds are only stage 2, so no more than 15ish min into the match.. no real need to be in this hand but a double up here(nearly) and the fact that you would not actually be out if you loose(would have 350ish chips left, 7BB) would all help to pursuade me into calling this.

    I guess my answer is reason enough as to why I have delayed making a deposit for more than 2 weeks now... since I am unsure if my decision would be the right one (call)

    Interested to hear what others think and too see what you actually did here.

    Ack... initially my gut says call but the more I think about it, I think AK is the most likely hand followed by JJ KK and AA, and three out of four you don't really want to play against. I guess if you're OK with the flip... hmmmmm. There is the other guy who flat called, can't think he has you beat but maybe he has AK (PP or sc more likely I think). So I've decided best case this is a flip, if you're the type who likes to double up or get out early the call is good, but I'm OK with a fold as well.

    well, I did call, and he flipped AQo and promptly spiked an A on the flop.

    I only called because my rationale was that he had been playing about 50% of the flops so far and getting quite involved in each. I thought he was tilting from the last beat. Having figured it out right (he had better than I expected!) only to then get outdrawn was a bit gutting.

    I then played another SnG and had KK busted by AQo with a K J T flop.

    There was some tough love on Stars for me yesterday

    speaking of bad busts.....

    Had I played my 7/4o in the tourney I played last night I would have quadrupled my stack on the 4th hand! lol..

    2 went all in before me... and another 1 after me...

    and I was Sooooo close to calling just to post on here if I did bust them with it...

    All 3 flip their cards.. A/Ks A/Jo and a 8/10s Flop comes 6/5/5 turn 4 river 2

    then the next hand was a 6/5/3 rainbow... wish I had my 7/4 twice in a row and pushed both times.. lmao
