Re: Call or fold?



2nd hour so i'm assuming you're still very far from the money.
you didn't say if she was a solid player or if you had any other read on
her.

the time article that was posted just yesterday says that women rarely
bluff, but i'm not sure if i would take that into account.
you said you're one of the biggest stacks of the tourney, so it would
probably be a bad idea to gamble that even with a 50-50 chance on 2-1
odds, so this alone makes a pretty strong case for a fold.

one of the biggest stacks far from the money, coinflip (at best ?), i'm
saying fold is the best option (and i'm not saying i would in the same
situation without alot of thought)
