I wanted to share a hand from my pursuit of my $10,000 challenge recently. As you may or may not know, I’m in the beginning stage of trying to build a bankroll from $0 and a few days ago, I logged onto Betsson to play the weekly freeroll.

In this particular tournament, I was running good for a while, and with about 50 places to the money, I had a pretty good-sized stack, about 17,000 with the blinds at 400-800.  Enough to make it into the money for sure and start playing the micro-stakes tables.

A player on my right started loosening up, stealing blinds with big overbets before the flop. Short-stacks were looking him up, calling with big pairs only to get sucked out on. He was showing down hands like Q-10, 9-8 and K-10.

For the third hand in a row he went all-in — this time from the cutoff with more than 20,000. It was a big over-shove and I had a decision to make with A-5off in the big blind.

So what would you do? Call or fold? And tell me your thoughts behind it and what you think he’s holding. If you guess his holding down to the two cards, there’s a prize in it for you.

As for my table image, after playing loose the first few levels, I had tightened up considerably.
