This is often misconstrued by people... it's really not near a coinflip, its closer to 65/35 when you have two under cards to someones two over cards
It's a gamble you have to take sometimes, but I think people make it more often than necessary

See, and I actually think people don't take it enough. 65/35 is pretty damn close to 2:1, so unless he's up against a pair of 8s or better, calling isn't THAT bad of a play. It's marginal. And if for some reason he puts his opponent on a small pair, it's really not that bad at all.
The problem I have with this hand was his initial REraise that got him into this mess. Of course, we have no idea what kind of read he had on his opponent. If he was coinfident that his opponent was on a steal and would fold to a big reraise, it makes sense (even though he ended up being wrong). But if he's willing to call the opponents re-reraise, why not just push in from the blind with the initial reraise? I'm assuming no one else was invvolved in the hand, of course. |

The reason why I wouldn't put a player all-in there is that it looks too much like a reraise steal. I am trying to portray a hand, and if I push all-in, my opponent would certainly eliminate the upper echelon hands from my range since if I had one of those hands, I would try to make a reraise in which he/she would call.

I disagree, I would play steals and Aces the same way

 with a small pair wouldnt he be in worse shape than against 2 big cards?

Poorly written by me. Just saying that if he puts his opponent on a small pair and pushes in, that's a really tough call for the opponent to make, and even if he doesn't he not THAT far behind. No, he's not a coinflip, but he's not THAT far behind.
It's really only 8s or better that pose a big problem for him. |
