I just didn't feel right here as new it was shove fold and the 2nd raiser was always calling, was fold really an option ?

    		Headline!!!

    After an unusual period of stability, The Newcastle board have found it neccesary to sack their most popular and most successful manager in recent years!!

    Spose it was the obvious move really!!

    all innnnn  every day of week and twice on sundays.

    and it would look (a bit) like either monster OR a squeeze, so maybe a lot of underpairs are insta calling too.

    bigger stack could of just been testing the opening raiser think u have to go with it.
    worst case - 20% hits 20% of the time too

    i dunno dudeskin tough spot, all depends on what ranges you would put on your opponents? what stage of tourney/sit n go it is etc

    i'd personally probably ship it but depends if the other 2 are total nits then i may fold

    good fold .. diffrence between having a pair and knowing or feeling its right to fold plus im not a fan of going all in with just a pocket pair.... on sky poker tc the question was asked if you would go all in with KK QQ AA my answer is no chance like i said good fold
