    what would you do in this situation.
    this is a satty with about 20 till the money and avg stack is a little over 8k. would this be a good spot to push and isolate the allin even though haufux has been really lose and will prob 60% of the time he will call or should i fold and wait for a better spot

    I would say call is the worst option. In order I would:

    Fold
    Push
    Call

    The reason call is bad is because you really will never get paid any more than whats already in the pot unless you hit a set.

    Pushing is never bad, cause theres so much dead money in the pot and no one (except the guy who is all in) has shown any real interest in the hand. It must be considered if Heim.. is limping alot, or if this is the first time hes limping and could be trapping with a big hand. That would greatly affect my push/fold decision.

    i figured flatcalling was the worst option also so i just folded.

    Push if you want to be called only. there is $4100 in the pot so your push is only going to make this 2 to 1 odds for haufax, AND he'll still have enough chips to mount a comeback if he's wrong. I think ANY GOOD PLAYER would call your all in here after already calling the 1100.
