The table was playing pretty tight preflop and post-flop. We were at 15 players and I think the average stacks were trying to sneak into the FT. Also, I hadnt been involved in a hand recently. I was trying to get cute with an UTG raise with this hand. I was hoping to get credit for an EP raise, but was ready to lay down to a big-stack reraise. I would've probably called a short-stack all in though and hope to double up. After the re-raise and push I was 100% sure I was beat, but the it was 6900 more to call a pot of 24640.
My main reasons for calling were:
-The pot was laying to me 3.5 to 1.
-A chance to bust out a player. I would either be severe short stack or be one of the big stacks when the hand was over (if it was checked down).
-The blinds and antes were going up soon. Next hand or so.
Also:
-There was a slight chance my A high was the best hand. Very unlikely at that point, but possible.
-If I flopped monster draw, I would be getting correct odds to call any bet. If I was pushed all in for my remaining 4145 chips, the PO would be 8.6 to 1 on my money.
So, I was really committing to this pot when I really didnt have to. I was just hoping to check it down with my opponent, bust a player, and either be sitting pretty or very low stack (a gamble I was willing to take). Other than 'fold it preflop' did I make the right choice in calling or should I have folded?
