Message: [QUOTE="Mortis, post: 7082863, member: 30356"] You're projecting the role as the chip bully after shoving your big stack, which actually may show a greater chance of weakness in your hand to the other players. With the CO calling here, it would have been best to just flat call. If the CO would have folded, then it would have been okay to reraise to about 12,500 if you wanted to show some aggression. If the villain were to reraise you after that or shove themself, then I would get away from the hand. UTG could easily have a solid pocket pair (TT-AA) or a top drawing hand (AK, AQ, AJ). You are probably a 52/48 at best right now, or a 20/80 if they have a better pocket pair, risking about 2/3 of your chip stack. So, as played, I would go flat call and see a flop. But it's almost a fold after that to a bet if you don't hit your 7 or if you see an Ace, especially with not much information on your opponents. No need to risk so much. [/QUOTE]
