Voted fold. Hero has 72 bbs left and TAG image. While v may be a little wild, this does not prevent them from knowing hero’s image, nor being dealt a good hand. Fold and try to nail them later.

Obvious FOLD.

Your UTG open w/ a TAG image screams strength and yet you’re still getting RR’d. It’s also a gross overbet RR, a typical donk move by loose players who have the nuts.

Plus, what exactly are you beating? AT? haha, get real.

Fold and pick a spot w/ better odds and reads.

I can’t believe so many people are voting call. Is that a joke? You have 120 in the pot and he comes over the top for the rest of your 2800.

How can you possibly call this given his super wide range. Sure you may be ahead, but your hand is garbage also.

If you voted call, you’re horrible.

jazzy

voted call, hope he has tt lol

[Reply]

Yeah ummm for those who are calling, that is beyond bad. You have to think that he is shoving AT, TT or worse in order to call. And even then, we are flipping with TT/99/88 etc

Very easy fold

Easy fold in my opinion. At best I think we are facing a smaller pair. I am curious to see what people who voted call have to say.

It’s a rebuy. I don’t play 100 at all, but if I did it would because it’s in my bankroll to rebuy. Call all day long. We are ahead of the range of ‘a player who has been shoving fairly wide.’

If he has a better hand and we don’t suck out, then rebuy. I’d do this in a $1 rebuy (within my bankroll) and with a $100 if it was within my bankroll. If it’s not within my bankroll, what the hell am I doing here?

And that attitude is exactly why you only have the bankroll to play $1 rebuys.
