HighwayStar 8 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I think that's a call. I wouldn't label someone a donk cause they shoved with K6ss. Could be a good play in a lot of spots..SB could be shipping it in with a huge range If the BB calls like lightening I might stop and think but still call.You crush the SB's range and are probably have a small edge over the BBs. It's a good spot to go go go given how many chips can be won. Link to post Share on other sites

I tend to fold these, preferring to be a pair against two raises that could be counterfeiting each others Aces. Link to post Share on other sites
ChuckP 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I tend to fold in this spot too. Unless you have some read on SB or your button raises have been reraised a ton by SB. There is always a better spot to get it in. Link to post Share on other sites
Aces Rule 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hero has been playing TAG, only showing quality hands. No real reads on one villain, the other was a donk. Shoved with K6ss.I'm not sure which one is the donk - the SB I assume?In any case the BB just called all-in vs a TAG and an all-in re-raise - so I'm going to give him a lot of credit for having a good hand AK+. So I'm at least counterfeited by one and possibly both players on one or both of my hole cards or up against a big pocket pair and in a race. It pains me greatly to lay down such a nice starting hand but I think that's what's called for in this case. Link to post Share on other sites
CushCrusher 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 this is an easy fold i think. being the first into the pot doesnt mean you have to die w/ AK soooted.I find that you are behind one of those hands most of the time.Its and insta call if its not a three way pot when it gets back to you.hope u chucked it Link to post Share on other sites

MovingIn 0 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 We could easily be facing at least one pair (which we're behind to) or at least one pair of live cards. On top of that, we're calling two all ins for 2/3rds of our stack, in a situation where our marginal edge at best isn't all that far above a 2 to 1 shot. AK is one of the most overrated hands in hold'em... not that it isn't strong, but too many players overplay it in situations like this. This should be a fold. If the stacks were shorter or our stack was deeper, I'd consider calling, but we're risking far too much here as an underdog to take out 2 villains. Link to post Share on other sites
HighwayStar 8 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Bleh. Pussies.I think this is a decent spot to take a gamble.1) This is the nearly the Final Table, if you win this pot you'll be a huge chip leader which given the turbo structure of $2 180 mans is a huge advantage.2) You have a small edge in the pot.3) It's sooted!

MovingIn 0 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 You'd probably bust a lot here. At least 14th-16th place pays, right? Link to post Share on other sites
