Full Tilt Poker No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t200.00/t400.00 Blinds - 4 players - View hand 825268
The Official DeucesCracked.com Hand History Converter

Hero (BB): t2130.00 M = 3.55
CO: t1150.00 M = 1.92
BTN: t3780.00 M = 6.30
SB: t1940.00 M = 3.23

Pre Flop: (t600) Hero is BB with A

: Q

:
CO raises to t1150, BTN calls t1150, hero?

hes obviously calling with any part of his range that he called the first all in with.
co is 20/15 with lots of reggishness to him, btn is pretty loose type that will call with atc in bb if button opens to normal raise.
how comfortable are we getting aqs in 3 way against these two?

what's the pay scale again for 6 max?

even without that I think this is a spot where tournament life is more important than the 40%-50% equity we may have 3 way (where we are eliminated/crippled 50-60% of the time).

first gets exactly twice as much as second. so ~ 33-67 ish.

ohhh, only top 2 get paid?

then I'm GAMBOOOOOLING. I would always be playing for 1st place in these things. Either bust out now with a spot I feel we have good enough equity or have a pretty good chip stack and chance for 1st.

Wait wait wait...are you ever advocating folding here, Reef?

I think it's an easy push, CO is UTG and effectively AI next hand. I mean, you could always just call and play fit or fold. The chipleader/button may actually just chk it down to try and knock out CO.

Either push preflop, or I guess you 'could' call and play fit or fold. If deep stack bets, even if he's bluffing, just fold if you have A high.

But I think this is a puuuuuuush like every time 4 hands and this short imo.

If top 3 paid, I was considering a fold because CO has to win the all in to stay alive. I was valuing tourny life + make the money around half the time over our preflop equity.

If top 2 paid, easy push

f*ck, i folded...im trying not to over value aq lately because weve had several posts about aqs lately...i guess laying down aqs with 6.5 bbs 3way is kinda bad...

Top 3 paid EZ fold, top 2 paid reraise all in. SNG EZ mode.

Man I don't really play SnGs at all, so take what I say with a grain of salt.. well, except for the fact that I agree with the others here.

4 handed, CO/UTG forced to go all in next hand anyways (so he can easily be pushing any Ace/king/queen amiright? god anything really yeah?).

Dont wanna call and commit half our stack then fold postflop, gross. Nows the time to try and chip up, and have a solid shot for 1st place.

So.... what'd they show down?
