Another UTG what were they thinking?

[twizzybop]

Early in a sit and go and for the life of me, still haven't figured this out. Why do people call with marginal hands UTG?

C'mon stop with the Doyle Brunson plays allready

You are right. To call a raise like that with T9 is foolish. Just give up the $30 limp & move on. Maybe the $15 entry fee was peanuts to him. Then he painted himself into a corner by flopping an open-ender. Guess it was too juicy to pass up from there.

Not even a 2.5*pot bet could shift Captain Donk from his staight draw, heh.

 

[nateofdeath]

it's one thing to limp in with it, not saying it's a good play, but i see it all the time, but calling the raise makes no sense to me. some people just feel the need to gamble.
