    What do you think about this hand nearing the end of the Nightly Hundred Grand? I had about 35 big blinds to start the hand, and when I snap called player's all in I was thinking it was purely a squeeze. and there was 0% chance he had aces or kings... looking back though I'm not so sure how often he'll be flipping up AQ or worse, the majority of the time it'll be a pair 9's - J's. Anything better than these hands you gotta assume he'd make a smaller value raise since we had both been playing pretty solid/tight (him more than me). Basically I'm just wondering if it's worth gambling in this spot with an above average stack at 1000/2000 blinds with 55 players remaining. Obviously given the results I have regrets about calling, but given the fact that a very high % of the time I'm going to be on the drawing end of a coinflip, folding to a big overshove here would probably be the right play. Lemme know what ya think.

    Depends if you want to go for a coin flip. You had to think it was a flip. I had this same situation last night with the same result. No inprovement. I was not that happy about it, but knew i made the right call. I would do it again in a heartbeat, If you doubled up, you would be in good shape there...
