£Freeroll NLHE MTT Deep Stacked: League Semi Final: Live game - all in on flop with average stack
Hi,
So this is my first post on this forum, and I just wanted a bit of insight from you guys in whether I made the right decision here, and just general thoughts.
We're about two hours in to a pub league semi final (so technically a freeroll, however the place is earnt). Blinds are at 200/400, with around 70 players remaining out of the original 95. We're ten handed. I'm at quite an aggressive table with frequent raises, re-raises and all-ins, but in fairness there has been a lot of action flops.
So I'm in late position, in the hijack, with a stack of around ~18K (45 BBs). I have Ac10h. Folds around to me and I raise, making it 3x BB at 1.2k. Cutoff folds, button calls, small blind calls and big blind calls. Four of us see the flop.
The flop comes 7c8c9c. Excellent flop for me, and I know I'm at least drawing to the best hand here in most spots with two overs, open ended straight draw and nut flush draw.
The small blind bets 2.5k and then the big blind shoves all-in with around 20k. This guy has been pretty active and quite aggressive with his bets on this table. I figure, trying to roughly calculate the equity of calling this here, even in worse case scenario I'm most likely still the favourite at this point, or at least close. However, it's a much bigger bet than I'd have liked to call with, and it's for my tournament life.
I ended up calling. Before I reveal the outcome of the hand, I'd just like your thoughts? Was this the right decision, regardless of who ended up winning the hand?
More than happy to explain my reasoning for calling in further detail.
