edited December 2011 in Poker Chat
had a tough decision pre flop last night and was wondering if i made the right decision over time!!

its final table of a 50 runner live game (£25 entry) £600 up top for 1st..

7 runners left, cash bubble

im sitting pretty 2nd in chips.

kk utg - i raise 3x... utg +1 shoves with a short stack

utg + 2 flats

folded around to chip leader on bb who reshoves

i dwell for a few minutes and fold...

without being results orientated.. does anyone think i made the right fold here or am i too tight there..

the results will follow after a few replies

your thoughts please

thanks

    I don't think there is a "right answer" if just getting into the money is a big deal for you, then yeah, by all means fold and take the easy ladder. Personally i would call the big stack all in, his over shove makes it look like AK or maybe QQ, and yes one of the other stacks most likely will turn up with AA but you should stand to win a MASSIVE side pot.

    (wp if the big stack did turn up with the aces though)

    hmmm fair enough, in that case you must be putting chip leader on AA? Or did the person who flatted the shove have a big enough stack to be worried about aswell? Out of interest, were you trying to put the players on aces or did you just not want to have a 4 way pot AIPF with KK? Interesting spot.

    the flat had a tidy stack...but wasnt concerned about him as i think he would have rereaised to isolate if he had aces.. he wouldnt want to play a multiway pot... i put the reshove on aces.. imo he can only do this with aces

    depends on how much a min cash means to you i guess

    you can fold here and garentee a payday, or you can risk it on the 2nd best hand in poker. Unlucky if the big stak has aces. cant rule it out tho, but i wouldnt be surprised if he was isolating the shortstacks with AK or something.

    I think its probably correct to call though.
