    Default What would you do?

    I'm bored .. I put his together.. what would you do?

    Nine handed $5 Sit and go: Pay off: 1st=$22 2nd =$13 3rd = $9

    You're on Big Blind. To your amazement you get AA first hand. Then, one by one, EVERYONE on the table goes ALL-in... you're the last to call what do you do? Call or fold?

    Call, Its different on the bubble. But fist hand? I call even if I think I'm better than the field. If 5 dollars is a lot to your bankroll fold

    wtf does bankroll have to do with this question? Different when you're on the bubble? News flash, hand 1 is the bubble! lol c'mon dude. it's the easiest fold ever. you fold, place, and then have a chance to win more money quickly. Remember the blinds are still sooo low so HU vs someone with 8x more chips than you could be interesting...

    worst case scenario is the pot gets split with 3 people (when you fold), but with the blinds still so low, you have a really great chance to win.

    Calling makes no sense...

    Cheers,

    Mike

    Wrong. Worst case scenario it gets split with everyone (straight flush, 4 of a kind, royal flush on board, etc..). Or even worse, 2 A's pop up on board, and you would have placed 1st..

    I would call, because I'd want to leave a 1 table $5 SnG ASAP anyhow.

    how is having everyone split it bad? It's as if the hand never happend but t ey split your BB... big deal. My scenario has you not place (yet), and creates 3 players with big stacks, which's much worse than all of them splitting.

    Who cares what the flop is when you decide to muck. Someone pushes all in and I got 33 so I muck. flop is 33x am I going to kick myself for mucking? I should hope not! fact is AA is only about a 35 percent fav vs 8 people when they get to see 5 community cards.

    Cheers,

    Mike

    AA is still best preflop, no matter how many people are in the pot. Hmm.. on a SnG I guess this makes it tricker.. if it were a ring game, I'd call for sure. I don't know about a SnG..

    Like, it's hard, because like if 3 people split, they can push you out SO easy.. and then you bubble..

    I don't know what the odds are that 3 people would split in an 8 way all in... but it ain't good dude. lol

    Even if it happened, like I said, the blinds are so small you're in no rush to create something. If they try pushing you around, just be patient. make a move when you got something great... Even if you have 5 orbits you'll still have a stack over 1k, and who knows, maybe the big stacks will be dumb and clash with eachother lol. These guys are obviously stupid for doing the 8 way all in pf, so they'll likely pay you off when you got a 70/30+ advantage PF.

    Cheers,

    Mike
