I know the fold would be ez but I like that hand...the point where my mind goes "this is it" and I will raise but not all in pre-flop. And I understand the circumstances of the desperate stacks. Whatta decision !
but I do see I'm not alone in the raise

I don't know who is supplying the answers to these quizes but there is no way I'm going to let off of the pressure here. Why give any one a chance to catch a hand.

I got it correct. It was not that hard to read. I didn't think.


Good luck on the tables!

Easy fold in that particular situation!

exacly what i was going to post... what are u suppost to do? wait till u get a pocket pair, b4 playing a hand...like i always say "NO BALLS, NO GLORY" but with A J, common easy fold??? unlikely, more like easy raise!!

..Well for one there are seven people.Its says the short stacks are out of the way(which means they folded) the third person folded,well I raise to 900 knowing that the other 3 at the table have a seat at the moment and by this time they should know if I raise I got a hand..So they will more than likely fold than risk losing there chance at a seat.If not then you fold if raised a great deal or you see a flop if called..Backing dowwn is silly in this situation..Whatever book these questions come from the person writing them is making money off books not cards,,,,

The person that wrote the book about that is Dan Harrington,he made the final table in the wsop main event 2 times,so yea i guess is doesnt know what is talking about!

Sorry to be harsh, but every one of these I have read has had mistakes in it. Yea I have so in so chips and 5 qualify, but you dont even say what the big blinds are. If they are 100/200 I call here or raise. If they are 150/300 I still call or raise here. 900 chips is not alot to lose- Im not gonna go into it, the whole question is just wrong (like usual). Some person trying to dictate to us how to play when I doubt they know themselves, and you cant even get the details correct 9/10 times. Work on it. I cant believe you give prizes out to people who answer correctly. Might aswell make it a lucky dip. think/focus/and execute.

ALright I see the merits in all the arguments above, in a regular tourni here I am definitly raising the 900. However considering the potential desperate play of the shorter stacks and the satelite payout structure I would most definitly play it safe here. It just dosent seem worth the gamble when i have very good odds of cashing my seat.
