First hand of a DYM

Sky_Poker

It's the first hand of a DYM and a player goes all in before you. You've never played the person before and so dont know their playing style.

What hand would you need to call here?

QQ+.  Had this exact situation last week, I had QQ and called, he turned over AA.  Although from an ICM point of view, I think calling with QQ in this situation is probably bad.

In my experience I would only call with KK or AA.

QQ if a tough one as a lot of the time I tend to find you can be up against AK, which then means its a flip.

Probably just Aces. Anything else just has to be losing enough of the time for us to be able to wait for a better spot, even pocket Kings.

this hasnt happened to me too many times but i'm definitely calling QQ and KK. I'd be very tempted by 10s and jacks too. Thats probably the wrong thing to do but as I say it hasnt happened to me too many times.

I dunno I normally find these ridiculous ott shoves tend to be the small pairs that for whatever reason ppl think you just open shove with regardless of stack size. 

First hand maybe different though because i'm very reluctant to play first hand regardless of my holdings. superstitious thing i have lol

Not sure what better spot you're looking for.

An all in shove and we have KK? I call

Would definitely have had to see villain do this before with Aces, to even consider folding.
