He was either joking or doesnt know how to play poker. HE, should have folded his jacks.

There is no way out!

And UTG was kidding you...

That said I don know waht the chip stack were... but he perhaps should have fold JavaScript.

KJ

You are correct... the only way you can flop Pocket Aces Pf is in a satellite when you are on the bubble.

KJ

It means if you are in a satellite with say 5 people left and the top 4 get entry to a major tournament, you and 3 others have 4k and there's one guy on 500. Blinds are something like 50/100. One of the guys with 4k goes all in and you look down at aces, you should fold them. With equal abilities you will get to the final 4 over 90% of the time with these chipstacks while, in the absolute best case with AA when you're against AK you are something like 92%. The rest of the time you are 80%ish to win and 20% ish you go out altogether. Since you are about 90% to get through, it's not +ev to call here.

Numbers aren't exact but they tell the same story

if i knew he had jacks I would have folded. hes right, yo ucant always play AA b/c they don't win every time. So if you feel your gunna get a suckout, you should fodl them.

u played the hand perfectly... no regrets; it happens. (and he was kidding when he said u shoulda folded)
