When I went into the tank I ran some quick math through my head. My thinking was that since I didn't know him, he had to have a good hand. TT-AA and AK. I threw out JJ so if you do the math a call getting almost 2-1 seems marginally correct. Keep in mind that if he has AKo I'm over 55% and even if he has an overpair I have 19% or so. The main thing that swayed me to call, though, was that I was 99% confident I was making the final table if I called and won, whereas if I folded I would be under the average, with blinds about to hit me, and would finish second to last table at best. My thinking is that I can turn the extra 18k into a hell of a lot more by bullying the table, since there were only 1 or 2 other big stacks.
I still don't know if it was the right call but hopefully you can see my reasoning.Statistics: Posted by Mad Genius — Wed Mar 02, 2005 2:53 am
