ok peeps if you read the text above it says that i could only call pre flop as the player in front of me has already gone all in so it only let me flat call his all in or i would have gone all in pre flop

If you're small blind u can definitely shove in this position as you have not acted yet. Even if you had limped preflop you could still shove after calling a 2.7k raise as it was not an under-raise.

DOHHHHHHH

Of course u can raise pre flop.........Theres a limp then a raise, the actions on you, I'd min raise here, this way a Pot sized bet on the flop wud basically be the same as an all in,,,,I wanna bring one player in behind me, dont really want 2 , but Id prefer 2 to none, if you know what I mean, Im trying to win a HUGE pot here, not worried about the shortstack. If I go out trying to tripple up, I dont mind, as the advantages of this r huge.

Min raise pre, Pot flop, get out-drawn on the turn - That will have happened whatever. When the 2nd Jack comes on the turn, think you could get away though. - Or cud u? hes obviously got a jack, but only 8bb behind, ugh I dno this is why I used to h8 tournys.

If the pot is bigger pre it all goes in on the flop, that was the big mistake.

Ul, GL, DOHH
