Final table
still 9 players left
on the button with KK
3rd in chips with 22K
Blinds are 1000-2000

MP raise all in for 6000
CL reraise All-in 35K or something.


MPwas heck of a tight player... and CL loose agressive as hell!
(doubled up on him previously with AKs agaist 33... I was the caller)

What do I do?
What you put my oponents on?

I don't know what the average chip stack is, but seeing as you have 22k and MP is a tight player with only 3 BBs left, my guess is he is sitting on a medium pocke pair maybe 7s. A semi-bluff. Maybe he's trying to steal the blinds, but if he gets called it will probably be a bout a coinflip situation.

As for CL, I have no idea. I'd call.

I dont see how there is a question here.

Great...
Thats what I tought and what I did...

SS has 33...
CL has AA...

33 hit... I dont improve...
Happy to see I would'nt have been the only one to go out there!!!

Am I the only one who would have flat cal here with AA...

I think you clearly played this correctly. No matter how tight the MP player was, the fact was that he had only 6,000 chips and the blinds alone were 3,000 total. Thus, if he was the first in the pot, he could be playing almost any two cards.

You also described the CL as loose. He probably had a hand because he wanted to isolate the bettor, but there are a wide range of hands that he might consider strong enough to make that kind of move.

The fact of the matter is that the only hand that dominates you is AA. You are a 4:1 favorite against all other pairs, a 2:1 favorite over AKs, and at least a 3:1 favorite against all other unpaired hands. This is a risk worth taking when there is still almost a full table left, and if it had been successful, would have made you the prohibitive favorite to win this thing.

The other reason I make the call is this.

1st guy can be pushing with anything since he has an M of 2.
2nd guy is a decent player and would be right to call with almost any playable hand. Overbets to keep you out and looks to take out the original guy.

Only one hand is better than you right now and you uvae nothing that tells you that anyone is as strong as ACES.

I would have joined you on the rail here.

Thats exactly what I was thinking... If you have AA tou dont reraise all in to isolate... I was dam wrong...

Did'nt care about the 1st player... but BTW... looked back at the hand history,,, he had almost 9K... odsent really change anything... for me, but the little bastard tripeled up at 26K...
