<pre><tt><tt>Early $3R on Stars. 80 people left. I'm in 45th. Our villain has just
been moved to the table 2 hands prior, both of which I folded. Then this
hand happens. If I play it at all I must shove allin. And I figure that
by shoving allin I'm making him have to have a very big hand to call me for
all of my chips as I have almost half his stack. That said, how then does
he call me with A8? At best he has 2 overs. He could only have 1 over or
could be dominated by AK/AQ. Someone please explain this to me? No one at our
table understood the call. Three people said was a terrible pre call (I make 4),
and 1 guy said it was the worst call he had seen in the tourney.
