Pretty much this, even so, I`m closing my eyes and calling this. Those limp reraises always get me worried
Although in cash you couldn't get my chips in faster. I would be under the assumption both had big aces resulting in the liklihood of an ace dropping reducing but the more players in the pot the weaker kings are as a starting hand. But £4.00 into a fifteen quid pot certainly is worth the risk here. They only need to hold up 30% of the time to remain in profit on the move.
After a little thought I did actually call it and took down the hand. One had AQ & the other AK.
I think one of my biggest problems is that I over think things, particularly for the stake levels that I play (& I mean that with absolutely NO disrespect whatsoever).
Just a quick thing to remember when playing lower stakes is that more people do tend to move all in with hands like AK/AQ preflop especially if there has been action in front just to take the pot down there and then as for some reason people do get surprised at seeing kings or aces. This is equally true at lower level sit'n'go's.
Never really played much cash, too slow for my game but if i did, i could never fold them at 5p/10p but at £1.50/£3.00 levels have i the discipline???? Doubt it, perhaps thats why i dont play em!!!
I think this is one of those questions that is purley based o nthe info you have on those players. If you know they are not particulary tight then you don't have to give the first bet credit for aces and the re-raise has an A k - A Q (and sometimes at these levels even A - J) Range then you can put the money in and feel pretty sure your ahead the majority of the time. As poor as it sounds it's entirly possible these guys are doing this on JJ's and QQ's which you have dominated - On 5 - 10 knowing the range they will do this with i think i'm happy to shove it in
ok i can see your point you can often be less than 50% to win a multiway pot, but you seem to neglect the importance of how much is actually in the pot to begin with. if your getting 2 or 3-1 on your money for instance then id take a 50/50 shot at it all day long, folding in this situation just because losing is a possibility is never ever going to be profitable!
Justsat in SNG. 3 all ins at early level, (50/100) cards turned over. 10's, kings and chip leader had 8's. Guess which one flopped the full house. Yep the 8's. It happens but could never fold aces in your pals position. Better to go out in a blaze of glory with your aces than go out when your gambling on a flush draw.
I suppose it ultimately depends on whether he cashed or not, or whether he was left wondering what might have been?
I even folded them once, to an all in, call, re-raise all-in when on the bubble. With that many in the hand and a cash finish at stake , you may not beleive me, but it was an almost insta-fold.
When you have KK, there is a 1 in 44 chance that someone has AA.
I'll take those odds. I'm never folding at these stakes.
