    judgeing by the raise from villian im guessing the blinds r 150 300 ,kev has 5900 stack ,thats  19 bb ,seriously james y would u want 2 put ur entire tournament on the line by shoving all in with a pair of 3s ,....this guy has raised u ,in this instance, he didnt have a hand,but what if he did ,what r u beating ?if i was  short stacked ,no problem in they go ,but 2 put ur entire tourny on line with a pair of 3s when u dont really need 2 get involved ,i dont know y some 1 would do that,each 2 there own i suppose,but im folding all day long here , if u think hes stealing and u can get villain 2 fold then i suppose its a good move but  very very risky.......my self personally he can have my bb ,im waiting 4 a better spot   .......... sorry kev, the call from the villain was shocking

    Hi Kev, I agree with James. Personnally, i am more likely to play it the same way, but i am re-evaluating the way i play these hands, because there are too many players who dont recognise the strength of a reraise, and are just willing to gamble. I dont think im a bad player, but, im losing faith in my game as a result of the number of loose calls that are winning. I know that it could be varience but very frustrating, especially as when you put it on the site you get accused of trying to put someones play down. it makes me sick and as a result i have cut back my play to mainly deepstack tournies. I have spoken to a lot of the REGULARS and the consenus was that the Bounty Hunters have a roll in the amount of "bad" play at the moment. My belief is that, too many of the players play the same way and dont or cant change to a differing pace(me being one of them), I have trouble in BHs so i dont play the much. I firmly believe that the standard has regressed somewhat over the the last few months. col

    OK, this will be my last post on this subject...

    I'd like to begin with a quotation from the great Gavin Griffin: "I have no problem crashing out of a tournament with 8-5 off.  I'd rather get caught making a move, than sit there folding marginal hands and being blinded out."

    Now, Kev seems to imply in his original post that he was relatively short-stacked.  Assuming the blinds are 200/400, he has fewer than 15 bbs, so can't sit around waiting forever for a 'better opportunity'.

    Jim - you and I both know there are only 11 hands that are beating 33 (and most players facing Kev's all-in would probably fold 44, 55 and 66 - and some might even lay-down 77 and 88).  Against all other hands he's 50/50 or better - and MOST of those hands (including Q7!) should fold to his shove.  But if he does get called, it's a flip.  When you're down to 15 bbs, you should be happy to take a race...
