Your last to act on an all inner 4th hand in the start of a 2k freeroll with 1800 people. This guy tells the table his hand and you are a 65/33 to win it. Do you make the call and risk your stack to double up? ( he was all in everyhand and It was obvious he had to go)

Q10S vs 5/6 off. Even stacks.

- I made the call and ofcourse got rivered by him catching a 5, I shouldn't have made the call though. This is one of those pass up a good bet now for a better bet later ordeals... but then again I was really liking the idea of haveing 6k to start. ...sooo I'll never do that again... but whats everyone elses thoughts on this ordeal???

the pros would say make the call everytime, because in the long run the call would end up far better than folding

do it again on the bubble in the same situation (guy has to go, all in with rags every time. Then do it a couple of more times. Looks inviting, you have odds. But hitting yourself in the face gets old...........even aces fall.

Make the call, (I am assuming you are certain he is telling the truth). You must view every decision as an iterated game. And at two to one, a lifetime of decisions like this one you have reported, you will do wonderfully. There is no other way to look at it, unless it is the last game of your life (and even then, I think I would have to take the odds and call).

I say check. Just to cheat. See the cards then bet. Yes, it's not legal, but who cares. That's what I'd do! :D
