Problem of the Week

Each problem will come from a genuine hand that someone played somewhere in the world this week and then whinged about on a forum somewhere. So you can be pretty sure they were not happy with the way they played it.

Could you do better?

Problem 1

"This was a crucial hand at the Irish open.

38 left with 36 being paid. Guy gets KK UTG and makes a decent sized raise. He's got a fair amount of chips, (enough to see him well into the money if he plays tight).

Folded around to the player 7th to act who goes all-in with a slightly bigger stack than our cowboys man. Naturally its folded back to the original raiser who is now on a decision.

Hard not to call under the circumstances but also hard not to think about having played for so long to just miss out on the money.

Oh dear!"

What would you do?

Kings should be enough to go all in with but do you hang on to get into the money? If you call what do you hope to see the other player turn over?

As with all of these problems there is no correct answer but after the discussion I can tell you how the hand played out.
