You never know what may bring on a 'clock' type thinking session. I was faced with a 3 BI call yesterday and I 'knew' I was a favorite at the time with middle set.
Hero 66
... I flat SB Flop bet from MP of 80% pot
V1 (B) 78
... shoved in 4 BI after I flatted Flop lead by V2
V2 (SB) AA
... tight OMC, possible JJ but not likely based on PF action .. AA/KK 95% of the time here and insta-shoves his shorter stack.
Board J
6
5
I'm 54.6% and the 'math' says call all day when calling off 3 BI to win 5.5 BI if I scoop. The side is 4 BI total (4.5 BI total in main), so even if I lose the main pot I make some profit in the side pot.
So I tank for a bit ... IT'S 3 BI!! How long does it take you to win it back? And I was near the end of my session. It would wipe out all of the previous 3-4 hours worth of 'work'. I finally call, board blanks out, and get jabbed at for slow-rolling.
How many poker players are willing to flip for 4-5 BI? I think it warrants some tanking ... I know this really isn't exactly what this thread is about, but it seems to fit the last couple of comments. GL
