i'm surprised so many people are saying call??
my answer, nice and simple: fold.
(although i'd probably recklessly call because i'm crap at poker!)
reasoning:
1. the SNG started just a while ago
2. blinds are small. it doen'st really matter if u lose that blind.
3. you don't know your opponent yet. got any reads? why the massive overbet? has he got a strong hand and did that purposely because he thought u might call? or is he a wacko who just does that for no reason?
u don't know.
what you do know, is that if he has u beat, your out.
if you fold, u lose one big blind.
sure you guys are gonna say that the guy could be a wacko so you should call and get an easy early double up. BUT:
1. you aren't sure, so why risk it?
2. if he is so crap that he'd go all in without even holding an ace, then you'll eventually get his chips anyways because he is bad.
u can make an easier call next time when he pushes to you like that and you are holding something better than a weak ace.
no point trying to double up now while risking to bust, when u can double up from the guy without having to rrisk busting.  |
