I hope I am a little less predictable these days Eck ( its been a while since I was on your table) and I try and be a bit more creative on occasions!
Think it was 2 or 3 weeks ago mate, wasn"t an APAT game would have been one of the rebuys on ipoker but may have been another mikeyboy for all i know.
Anyway fold pre now i dont mind tbh u have hit top pair if he was strong he will likely call a jam anyway so why not let him bet and have a gamble at the full double up.
Not me Eck, never play re buys, and would defo remember.
Right consensus seems to be that I played this like a complet ar*e. Getting the odds to make the call was a major thing in making this call, which is strange for me because I am not usually dictated to by pot odds, and particularly not in tournaments.
I still think calling is not that bad though as I could easily have laid it down if I had not hit, and still be about average stack. As it turned out, hitting got me into all sorts of trouble.
So I hit top pair, and check as suggested, he bets about half the pot and I insta shove, only for him to show a flopped set of fives, and its goodnight Vienna, for a massive profit of $34.70!
Having thought about it, my normal inclination would be to fold here, and get my money in when in position, and under my own terms, so I am disappointed that I let the odds sway me into calling. Clearer thinking next time!
