Button seems solid.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (4 handed) TightPoker converter

BB (t1620)
Hero (t1840)
Button (t2320)
SB (t3220)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with :Qs:

,

.
Hero raises to t150, Button calls t150, SB calls t125, 1 fold.

Flop: (t500) :9d:

,

,

(3 players)
SB checks, Hero bets t350, Button raises to t800, SB folds, Hero ?

While Hero is thinking, Button says: "you got an ace tip of the hat"

What do you do? Does the comment influence your action?

Hmmm... I'm not sue what the comment could mean.. Is he a euro player?? If so, he's probably floped a big draw and maybe 2 pair... Either way, you're coin flippin' here I think...

I think this is a classic depends moment.. Do you feel like gambling w/ this hand?? If you fold, you still have about 1400T...

Tough one Mew... the comment does throw me off a little...'

I vote big draw!

I don't know - what difference does that make? (honest question)

Post flop. What the hell. I usually try to get away from hands like this instead of putting my life on the line. There are a lot of hand beating us or at least flipping. I'm not sure what is correct though.

In short, they tend to draw more and raise draws more. Also, they are very good at representing hands. Unlike some players who try and represent hand they cannot have. In general, they just take a different approach to the game for the most part. Eruos to me play a lot more like East coast players...

Of course, I'm not saying anything bad about euro players.. They just play different than your average US player...

Also, I want to add that I'm saying this out of first hand knowledge.. Doyle's room where I played a ton was packed with euro players... I loved it!

Ok, you euros can kick the shit out of me now! :roll:

His comment doesn't throw me, but I think it means ``You have an unpaired ace? Hurry up and push.'' Whether he is being honest or not is up for debate.

I think you have to push postflop because of two reasons:

1. You don't have a big enough stack to make any other kind of reasonable raise.
2. His range for making this play is ridiculous. You crush it. Since it includes all kinds of draws you can't just call, you MUST push.

I like a fold to the reraise I think.
