However, whilst it was obviously very advantageous to get such a good lead early on, is there ever a time when you should call
i was just put out in a similar situation at a sng at party. I wasnt short stacked but the blinds were getting higher and i wanted to increase my chips - someone in early position went all in with KQ. I called in middle position with pocket tens. However, someone in late position called as well with KJ (dont know why they did as they were 2nd in chips). A king came on the flop and i was put out.
Now, in this situation i think i did the right thing calling the all in as the guy was low on chips. I went all in instead of just calling as i had enough chips to do some damage to every player and reduce their chips greatly - however, the guy in late position called. Even though he split the pot with the initital raiser - i think it was a bad call by him and he should have folded.
what do you think?  |
I gotta agree. One all in, followed by another one, I would more than likely fold unless I held a high pair.
As for all in's on the 1st hand, don't call those pretty much unless I've got Q's/K's/A's, seen to many instances of people getting outdrawn by others going in with crap(at least this is the case in play money SNG's, lol).
