You're raising three times the big blind before the flop and get two players with you, including the player on the button. Flop comes and deals Ac-Js-Ts. First player raises by $20 and you decide to raise to $60. One player folds, button goes all-in. You have $620 left, a call costs you $250. What do you do?

| Poker hurricane charity tournament | 1st September, 2005 |
 Absolute Poker is sponsoring an online donation "tournament" to raise money for the American Red Cross Hurricane Katrina Relief efforts. Absolute Poker will match all collected funds, donating 100 percent of money raised to help victims.
The "tournaments" have been set up specifically for donations and are not actual poker games. Those interested in participating can go to AbsolutePoker.com and choose a "Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund" tournament from the tournament lobby. Donors can register in any tourney, ranging from $1, $10, $25, $50, or $100 tables.
Additionally, players can make account transfers from their own account to an account called, KATRINAFUND, directly through the automated system within the Absolute Poker Cashier tab.
This is Absolute Poker's second fundraiser for victims of natural disasters. Through a similar tournament and donation-driven fundraiser, the company raised over $14,000 to aid victims of the Tsunami in Indonesia in December 2004. These funds were donated to the International Committee of the Red Cross. | | | - written by Betty Holden |
