    This is a hand where if you call the all in to see the flop, and the other person doesnt get cooperative, you might as well have just donated half ur stack to the pot. If you are going to play this hand, you dont just call, you go over the top wiht all ur chips.

    in this situation, I think your fold is fine.

    Fold or all in, that should be ur question. Fold or all in.

    you could push and get nehmer to fold to isolate the short stack IF you think nehmer will fold.

    calling is horrible.

    Without a good read on both - Fold

    Id probably lean towards a fold. If the Bladian has beem loose or what not, Id push over the top for isolation.

    Yup, thats a fold unless you KNOW calvary does not have a higher pair. Even so your probably gonna be on a coinflip. It was just coincidence that you would have had them both dominated.

    Hm..I think I prefer a push...with an AI and a reraise the original raiser will probably fold, and you have a coinflip with extra money in the pot...but then again I'm push happy.

    If I felt my Ts were ahead or that a push could get the me isolated against one player....I push. If the original raiser calls my all-in I am not happy because I am afraid that I am probably in bad shape.

    Seeing two AIs the first raiser must give you credit for a big hand, probably better than the 10 10 you have - with his dead money in it's a pretty good spot to play a flip... if not there's a decent chance you have an over pair against at least one of them or that they share one over. Plus even if you lose you still have enough chips left to try and steal your way back. I like the push... but fold is OK play as well, I can't fault you. You have a nice enough stack here compared to the blinds that it may not make much sense to gamble. I love big stacks tho!
