    Seat 9: Zimmaro folded on the Flop

    Zimm and Demon's calling ranges are...well, they really don't even have one...

    Fern is a solid player, made some tricky plays so far...

    Question is, do I have any other move than all in? I'm didn't wanna sit there and let the flush draw hit, and I also didn't wanna let someone's straight draw hit on the turn...you play this differently?

    Donnie- you are kinda stuck with your stack size there since so many guys called and the pot got huge.

    Your all-in wasn't even a full pot bet. Given your stack if you bet even 1/3 of the pot, it's pretty obvious you are committed there pretty deeply because you stuck in half your stack by then (relative to the beginning of the hand.)

    Other than giving a free card, I don't see how you can do much else then shove there. If you made a min bet guys have the odds to call a potential draw since the pot is so big and you don't want that to happen. Does anyone else see another bet he can make that might get guys to come along on a draw without the proper odds?

    I'd say be happy there- you doubled up. Whoever had the other ace probably had a crap kicker. Best you could have hoped for was opponents holding AK, 2pr or a flopped set - they might have called.
