About LinkBacksWas playing last night in a tourney - 3 plays left - 2 go all in before me, I had pocket 7's, and I folded them. They turned up A/K and K/Q - flop, river, turn and I would have a set and they would have nothing. I won the whole deal anyway, but could have taken two out right there.
Was that the wrong call? I think I played it like a wimp.
Thoughts?
Thanks.

Chip stacks? Blinds? Type of players? Etc. Generally it seems like an obvious fold though.

Definately the right moove nomather how the other players normaly play... the best situation is an underpair and 2 over cards. Sooo... less than 50-50...

if he folds he is guaranteed 2nd place, if he calls he brings 3rd into the realm of possibility.... that makes calling a -EV move

You haven't read any numbers and you're calling it -ev. In most sitautions it probably is. Tomorrow I will find at least one situation where it is +ev to call. I'm going to bed now though. Originally Posted by Av8tor009
