Dealing it Twice in Online Poker
You’ve got the odds to set mine, but I’m probably going to fold this one.
I wish I had more information on the CO, but I’m pretty confident we’re ahead here. I like his move w/ AJ-AK, or broadway variation. I don’t see him min raising with any pair that dominates us, but it’s possible he’d make this move with a pair we dominate.
However, I lean on a fold because I don’t like our options given our image. 4betting commits too large a percentage of our stack OOP and really only leaves a shove available and I think we have limited FE being aggressive already.
Even if he folds, we’re forced to showdown with the SS AI and this further deteriorates our image win or lose. Risking our stack to win 13k isn’t the best spot for us.
I fold this and take note on the CO when he turns over his cards.

Only worth a set-mine is we KNOW we can get his whole stack for it (or close to)
TBH all we are doing is increasing tournament volatility and I don’t really fell that’s a good idea. We have a healthy stack, let’s not ruin it.
FOLD

also all we have is the walking sticks, and what do you do with walking stick? you limp
if we were deeper this would be a call
