???

With tibjazz yet to act after me do you just call this and push the flop if no A or K come or do you push to isolate? I suspect he has a big A likely AK? Mr. Patman's all-in does not scare me I think I am ahead of him with my QQ and I want his chips just not sure I want to risk my whole stack and push here?

    Push and isolate.

    I'd suspect that they both have Big Aces and Mr Pat is just trying to take the pot right there.

    Looks very similar to a hand that I played about a month back. All in with Q's against 88 and 66...both hit sets...

    All-in looks good. You can't call then fold to a push so better to push yourself and try to get him to fold AK so you can go heads up against the shortstack that you probably have dominated.

    I agree with this thinking now, however I didn't follow that line. I called opening the door for tibjazz to possibly push me off the pot....this time however it didn't matter, next time I push to isolate, thanks for the comments:

    MR.Patman bets $7.95 and is all-in, 67BigE67 calls $7.20, tibjazz folds.

    Question, not worth starting a new thread. Why does the $0.25-$0.25 table have $0.15/$0.25 blinds?

    wondered that myself, all their NL/PL tables are listed like that?

    and how was a raise to 1.60 legal?
  • ChrisWinsorChrisWinsor
    I was wondering both those questions myself... I was also wondering why are there ever tables where the SB and BB are equal... What differs really in that situation?

    My guess would be that he raised $1.60 on top of the $0.15 small blind he had already paid, making his total raise to $1.75 which is the minimum legal raise :)
