    Default A-10 (3.40)

    Ugh i usually just fold this PF , and im sure that's what a lot of replies will say but i hadn't been involved in a hand in a while and was trying to pick up the blinds....


    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (7 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    CO (t1835)
    Button (t2230)
    SB (t1235)
    BB (t1275)
    UTG (t1580)
    MP1 (t3300)
    Hero (t3545)

    Preflop: Hero is MP2 with T, A.
    2 folds, Hero raises to t300, 1 fold, Button calls t300, SB calls t250, 1 fold.

    Flop: (t1000) 9, 9, A (3 players)
    SB bets t935 (All-In), Hero?

    fist pump/call. if he did this with a better ace it's amazing/bad, if he did it with a nine it's just bad

    K...that's what i was thinking....seems like he'd shove over preflop with AQ or AK....even AJ being that shortstack....And if his hand contains a nine....than like you said that's just bad.

    Since when are $3.40 players not bad.

    Anyhoo, with your stack I'll call.

    Hehe ok, I meant your avg opponent, not you.

    With your stack size, preflop seems fine. If you had a 1500 stack, if the blinds were 25/50 or if the table was full I would just fold it preflop, but in this spot I think standard raising is fine.

    As played, absolutely you must call, you can't fold here. If opp has 9x or AJ+ then that sucks but nothing else you can do.

    i agree with the call. he is close to 10Xbb and he might be pushing with something that is close to ok but in reality is closer to desperation. overall, i hate a 10 and i agree that it can be dumped a lot, but in this situation i agree with how you played it pf, a lot of times it's an easy steal.

    Push over, you are not folding to the button push.

    What is your line if you call and the button pushes over ?

    You may get the button to fold with hands like AT/AJ here (not a great chance but possible) if you push and not just flat call
