how the hell can i call this?

i honestly didnt think he would raise me allin after an allin and a quick call without a higher PP, i do not like his play here AT ALL. Raising all in with a drawing hand seems like a weakplay to me. Theres a good chance i have a big pair and have him dominated, why risk more chips than he already was if he flat called?

The buyin you're playing is full of donkeys mate! But, IMO when the guy goes all in if you're thinking about playing TT here you have to push all-in too to get yourself heads up. Your call gives AK good odds to call. He made a squeeze play (raising after an earlier raise and a call) and it was a good move IMO.

Checkout Harrington on Holdem 2 where Dan Harrington makes a similar play with 62o!

ok good point, i gave him odds, but i didnt want to put my tourney on the line with TT, and it worked out because now i have a nice stack and am still in it. ty matt.

yea, i have to agree with matt here which is exactly what he wanted now there is alot of money in the pot and hopefully he can go headsup with his Ak..not too bad a play....sedgy made the bad play in my eyes after aq.. non paired cards between j10-aj are just marginal and should be played cautiously..but i dont think it was a bad move...bydayway when did poker stars have $2 buyin..was this an mtt....one
