OK, I get the point there to just "call" the EP Raise.

What I don't agree with this play is that the remaining 8 players can get into the pot with "only" 12K instead of having to commit all their chips (when I bet 35K). This way I allow players with A2 or other crap to call relatively cheaply and get lucky on the flop.

Once getting such a premium starting hand, I really can't lay that down or just call a raise allowing others in the pot with crap and take my chips with a lucky flop when I have the chance to bust one out being in a 70/30 position.
