so annoying the other stack sizes are not saved, but i believe they are both medium stacks and not in danger.

    Hi Greg

    Firstly, you can go to hand history and see previous hands with the missing stackson. The stacks do not show if they are not in pot but quite ightly they should be considered. However, it is early in tornament, cusp of early/middle so there is a very long way to go.
    Had you met this player before and had a read as £22 DYM's attract REGS. Did you have any read on hm from previous encounters. It really is a judgement call with QQ. Any info is like gold here. If you had AA, KK then its a call. For me here, imo, i call but if in doubt a fold is fine and is probably correct.

    Having tayler and nails stack sizes would help a lot, pretty sure you can look at previous hands to get them.

    If he had limp/raised small I might fold but limp/shove looks a lot weaker to me so would call as just can't see him doing this with AA/KK and only other bad hand to see is AK and either way you're not dead.

    this is a fold (in game not sure what i would do though) 1 because you have a decent chip stack and a great chance to cash, and 2 you are risking 2155 to win 2605, a pretty much even money gamble, so if villain only shoves pre here with Ak, kk, AA, QQ, then its too risky to hope for a flip especially when you have greater chance of cashing if you preserve you're stack, and play small ball; steal the blinds etc. In an MTT its an easy gamble but adding 2.6k to you're stack here be it a dym when you are already deep (70+bb)  is not as valuable imo. 

    If you call here you have to be pretty confident that he shoves worse than QQ, not inc AK btw. 

    Readless this is a fold.

    Glad you posted this and thanks.. Yes i agree its a fold 100%. it felt wrong at the time to call... i defo have a big edge with  the chips i have already and will cash a large percentage of the time if i fold

    fwiw he had AKs and binked.. I still cashed tho :)

    i wouldnt call look at your stackkkkkkk it should be a easy top 3 if u lose this then ya might not cash forthis reason i fold

    Limp/Raise is super strong. Even when it's not a DYM, I'd seriously have to think about how much I like my Pocket Queens. I'm more than happy to fold this in a DYM when I have chips.

    readless it's a fold

    hard to call when you don't know what oppo does the UTG back raising thingy ma jig with

    Limp raise I'd probably just fold. 

    If it was just a shove over your raise and he hadn't have limped I'd have called expecting a range of: AK,JJ,1010.
