custom36 5 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Absolutely not. Fold. It's way too early and you can get your chips in at much better spots. Link to post Share on other sites

DiamondDixie 12 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Definitely a fold, it's way too early to call with AQ here. Link to post Share on other sites
TrueAce13 18 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 i'm not folding AQ in a 2.20...if you lose just fire up another one...i really don't see us being dominated ever here Link to post Share on other sites

mmsdan 0 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Thanks for the replies everyone.I made the call and CO turned over 9 10s. (TrueAce must have played this game a couple of times ) I ended up losing the hand but was really just questioning if I should made the call at all.Part of my thinking was the chips that I would have remaining if I called and lost and the chips that I would have if I had won. Good/Bad/Terrible? Link to post Share on other sites
wildspoke 2 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 i'm not folding AQ in a 2.20...if you lose just fire up another one...i really don't see us being dominated ever hereSo as I read the post, I thought clear fold. Why risk half your stack when you've got comfortable chips. And then I read TrueAce13's response and thought for a second that makes sense. But as I thought more I'm still not calling. (But am open to be convinced otherwise)Shouldn't we make the right decision and not take into account the buy-in size? I agree that being dominated seems highly unlikely but I don't like the call. As it stands, we only have one way to win the hand. While the villain has two ways. We fold. He has a better hand. Link to post Share on other sites

Nashtak 0 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Obviously we call bcuz we induced w/ minraise so his range is ATC ofc Link to post Share on other sites
StevenS 0 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 This is an easy fold regardless of the tourney buy in amount. It makes no sense to risk your stack with AQo at 10/20 level even if put him on air or you know your ahead of his range. AQo doesnt play well post flop against his range, and he may very well show up with KK or AK with an all in 4 bet. I dont buy into the idea that it's just a 2 dollar tourney and if u lose, just load another. There will definitely be better spots ahead to get your chips in against him.

daveharvey 0 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 i call here. a/q is good or racing so often in these spots early on in micros. Link to post Share on other sites
Veranor 0 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Did my post get deleted?First time poster here. Long time viewer.Personally, if it were me, I would fold. There's a lot that beats you if your hand doesn't improve, not to mention the AA, KK, QQ hands that just dominate you.Edit: Adding more to that, a lot of people go all in right away in the micros with absolutely nothing because they don't care. For me, money is money. I wouldn't change my play because its micro. Link to post Share on other sites
Ugyone 0 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Calling just because it's a small buy-in tournment is bad play not matter what anyone says. Why would you train yourself to make bad plays? Link to post Share on other sites
FARGOpokerND 22 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Calling just because it's a small buy-in tournment is bad play not matter what anyone says. Why would you train yourself to make bad plays?Wrong. So many hands shove in these small tourneys that it is likely +EV long-run to make calls like this VERY early in tourneys.The buy-in DOES affect whether it is bad or good.IE Someone shoving first hand of a WSOP event is not the same as someone shoving first hand of a 0.25 tourney Link to post Share on other sites
