Recommended Posts

very early in a SnG still pretty much dead evendealt AA in SB, limp...OK so villian is one I have played before, I beat him mainly because he is very VERY aggressive and doubled me up when I hit trips and check/called him all the way as he bluffed street after streerthes raised PF 3/4 hands so far....but of coarse, checks this timeflop , 6c 4c 3c, I dont have the Ache moves allin...this is a fold, right?

Eh, I'd call it - you think he flopped a flush or straight?Besides if you lose, you give him a nice story about the donk who limped with aces and called his all-in on the flop. You're depriving him of that story if you fold.

Do you really think anyone is good enough to pass up a 2-1 edge? Even though this is a SNG, you can't pass that up.What do you want? The nuts before you call?

Two pair is a possibility but you have outs in that they can be counterfeited so you wouldn't be drawing to two outs.The push/all-in on the flop feels like a draw though.

If you are willing to pass up a 67% advantage to double up, this means that you think you are good enough to double your chip stack in more than 67% of the tournaments you enter.Wow - if you're that good, why are you here asking us questions.

Hmm. . .I'm a bit confused by everyone talking about us being 67% to win here. Not likely on this board.Against a pair and a flush draw we are 55%, against an open ended str8 flush draw we are 45%, against a gutshot str8 flush draw we are 55%. And against a flush draw with no straight draw, we are 60%. So our edge is pretty small and there's nothing wrong with folding. But a call is okay too. Sometimes he will have a made flush/straight/2 pair, sometimes he will have a total bluff, sometimes he will have pocket 9s with no club. I think these possibilities probably balance out, so we are overall about a 55% favorite against his range.
