DTD - Is This Way Too Nitty??

Is this way too nitty? I check the flop confident of action coming behind me and I plan to check/raise but when the guy just shoves 10k into a pot of that size I can't see that I can be doing anything more than spltting at best and I really just dont feel the need to take this risk when I've built up a nice playable stack.

So what dya think, too nitty?

    OMGGGGGGG !!!

    You have the 3rd nuts on that board right in a LIMPED pot? Jesus.

    I would probably do serious damage to my mouse making the call here.

    I just can't see how he's betting 10,000 into 600 with a bare ace or even on a flush draw. Is it really worth risking your tournament life with a flush draw just to win 600 chips? I think it's way too big a shove to be stealing... granted he's losing alot of value from AA and A7 (the 2 hands beating me) but I just can't see the need to risk practically my tourney life when i've only invested 80 chips and I've got 11k+ behind.

    Well obviously I posted it cos I dont think everyone will say it. I might be wrong but I think theres is some arguement for this in a deepstack when I've invested 80 chips at the 40/80 level and am now being asked to put 11k in the pot to call

    Alright maybe I admit I was wrong lol... and I'm just trying to justify my mistake.

    I should have called and doubled up but I was too scared.

    I'm up to 30k now though so its not all bad :)

    if you are folding this just sit out for a few levels till you are short enough to consider stacking off as at least a 70% favourite

    I can see what you mean. if you think you could out play this guy later on a fold is not drastic. atleast your still in the tournament after the fold. Saying that i would probably make the call. i'd most likely fold anything less than 7-10.

    this is one of the worst folds i have ever seen lol

    if he had aces (which he would have limped in with) or a7, which are the only hands you are scared of, would you shove your full stack in and scare off your opponant? i just cant see what your thinking when you fold here

    I understand your concerns but this should never be a fold.

    Is it April the 1st again?

    Pot may only be 600 but your going to be in a fantastic position when the hands over vast majority of time.

    Just to throw a spanner in the works....

    I know what its like to make bad folds like this as i used to do it too.

    But... If this was the WSOP ME... would the same people who snap this in a 1 quid game do it in a 10k buyin game?

    Just asking. Put yourself in the position in the wsop. do you really need to risk it all early incase the guy is bad enuf to ship a made FH?

    :)

    i think the opponants you would face in a wsop would be slightly better then a 1.10 mtt opponant lol
