Did he make the right call? |

Alright, so here's the hand that knocked me out of my own tournament.
I go all in with AKo in mid position. Small blind calls me (it was over 75% of his stack) with A9. Flop comes xA9, with two running rags. Was this just a bad call on his part or did he make the right call?
I was soooo pissed for a little while- I should have doubled, putting me at chip leader at my table and probably letting me play a hell of a lot longer.

I wouldn't have called an all-in bet with A 9. In my opinion, he made a risky call and got his flop. It happens.

I know some guys who play A, K-8 pretty much likes it's the same hand.
Would I have called you? Probably not, but you gotta remember you were thrilled when you saw what did call you, most of the time you win that race.
