Re: poker

I couldn't make that call. If a guy has gone all in and I'm holding an ace high with a low card, then I'd assume hes holding an ace or at least a king. If hes got an ace, then there are only 2 aces left in the entire deck so I woulnd't risk my entire stack on a very low chance that I hit only 2 outs. I have no chance of getting a straight and the next best opportunity for me is if my cards are suited I may get lucky and get a flush draw.

A wired pair of face cards would be one of the hands that i'd put my opponent on if he bet hard and went all in pre-flop. He has the same chances of hitting another K as I do an ace which would put him with trips against my pair.

In a value pot if I was on a short stack then yea I would probabbly call but if we both have $100 then theres no way I'm risking that even if theres $50+ dollars in the pot.
