This weeks Question was provided by BrokenTreaty... if you have a poker related question and would like share it with us we will love the assistance in thinking up the weekly Q's

you are sittin in a private tourny with a well known ftp Pro Gabby Hill, you have never been placed on a table with a pro before, when she goes all in. Now never having collected a bounty or a T shirt before and being low stacked what do you do?

Also for arguments sake ryAi3 was faced with this very same opportunity last week he called as well as Eric, Gabby had AJ Eric had AK and ryAi3 had 73os. Eric leads the flop the turn and the miracle on the river is the 3 giving ryAi3 his first bounty and T shirt. Maybe dumb call to some and a bad choice by others ryan was dead meat in the game but came away with, the winnings and a Top5 in the game.

depends on the hand. If i have her covered i call, almost with any hand, and if i don't...depending on the other stacks i fold/call. If she has everyone covered i fold, if she is 2nd to lowest i call.

well honestly it would depend on what you are set out in the tournement to do. if it is to knock out a pro and reach the pinnacle of awesomeness then hell yeah call with 7 3 off. if you are in the tourny to win you would have to toss it there. Personally if i am low stacked anyway then make the call because you would have to gain some chips to push farther in the tourny and pick back up the entry fee and a sweet t shirt.

so steve says to call

Umm lowstacked,,, not shortstacked, I'd need at least QK suited or sumthin, the "embarassment factor" comes into play, at least with me, unless I'm down to 12 BB's and less then hell I play lotsa stuff.. so QK suited and better AJ, pairs 9's or better, blah blah heheh there, clear as me on that

that would depend on what I have in my hand and what cards are showing on the table , gotta see a hand before you can call, check or fold in any game play, :P

I go all in. If more people go all in and you win you multiply your chips maybe can be elevate to the top if you don´t go, just delay your dead. I´m heard that any cards has 33% of chance of winning when goes all in.

If you are the Low Stack, how can you knock anyone out in the hand, pro or not? Wally

fold the 73os, pro or no pro - poker should be played. other cards may have other results. Truth be told, I would probably tighten up even more if faced with playing a pro.

I play my hand, if it isnt good I wouldnt risk it. Why try to beat a pro if your chances are low? You can always try it another hand or even another day. SweetEvilOne

It would all depend If I was in the money already or close to the bubble. If it was early on in the tournament then no doubt I would call and cross my fingers. If I on the bubble and felt that I had a few BB left to wait for a hand.....then I would fold.
If I was in the money......low stack....and she went all in then I would call. But not with a crap hand. I won't feel much pride taking out a Pro with a hand like 2 9. They are kind enough to play in these tournaments.........We should show the respect we would show any other player and beat her with a quality hand.

only because its seems to be very rare to see at a table with a pro i would probably have to make that call as well even though AK vs 73 is like 80-20 or more it just seems to be worth getting lucky! its just like if he had a good hand like A10 or so he woulkd make the call but in that circumstance he woud have been dominated!
