i had bigger stack of 60bb with 77 and open with 2bb raise from big blinds, action folds to small blinds who has 12bb and he shoves i call.
he has 88 n i turn a set. it helps ur point but i don't agree with you that its deliberate by stars if so in that position id always win in which case i know i don't. i called however because its less risk to me as he has a short stack, if he wins wouldn't hurt a whole lot while i have the chance to reduce the number of opponents."thus taking the risk" and i got rewarded, but as i said u don't always get rewarded but its up to you in the situation to take the risk.
sidebar, too often i all flop with bottom pair and turn set. so once it's affordably priced I'm seeing turn
same for river if affordably priced
