you are about getting the right odds- if this was the bubble then definately an easy call for me
depends whether you want fold to keep him a shortie and use him to bully others by stealing their blinds (as they want him to go out first etc)
can't fault you for calling and just thank him for his abuse, and then wait for good cards and get called by someone else who thinks you are a fish!

I'm in the big blind for 200 and the guy in 1st position goes all-in for 690. Gets folded round to me holding 9 2 off suit. 490 to call, 990 in the pot giving me pot odds of 2:1 right?? Therefore unless i put him on an overpair i'm getting about the correct odds to call? If i'm wrong here please say so as i'm not totally at ease with odds etc. Therefore given he's short stacked and desperate i dont put him on a pair and call. Hit my 9 on the flop and it holds up, then for the next 10 minutes he's abusing me in the chat box. I dont like putting my money in with such bad hands as 9 2os but given the odds and the chance so knock someone out thought it was a fair decision. Any advice on this would be great. |
