    I'm assuming this was a complete maniac shoving all in every few hands pre flop. If this is the case then the call is great, the result is not. I make this call every single time if my read is correct. It's a great opportunity to do 2 things: 1. double up and play to win the tourney. 2. knock out an incredibly stupid and disruptive maniac who is only going to cramp your style the rest of the time you are at the table together. To me #2 is as good a reason as #1

    this is a must call w/ AK. because you know his range is any 2, as shown(Q2) If you hold 1 time your @ 65k+ @ 8/1600 w/ about 80left, and this is where you want to be @ or higher. I guess I might fold this one pre. if I had my broll on the line, but i still prob. have time all the way down, UL, gg

    The button raises enough to set in the sb and bb who are both shortish on the bubble of an mtt and you debated folding?

    Oh.
