    Default how to play A-middle in final table

    Final table
    blinds are 3000,6000

    I have 60,000 at small blind
    Average guy has 60,000 at big blind
    Chip leader has like 155,000 dealer position

    I get A7s and go all-in
    Average guy calls with AA

    oops

    ummm ... how do i avoid this situation? I'm getting blinded out by the minute
    so I thought it was natural for me to raise with A7s all-in in early position ...
    mabye raise like 3x bb and then see if guys fold?

    AHHHH please help

    Shit happens. He usually won't have AA.
    If you are one in a million, there's eight just like you in Manhattan.

    Don't ever raise with 10 bb.

    Whats the payout details?
    Are there only 3 players left?

    Assuming you have an exact same amount or more chips than the BB and there's a significant difference between 2nd and 3rd in money then he will fold way over 90% of his hands. I think you should be open pushing any 2 cards here. It was unlucky he had AA.

    Yeah that just sucks that he had AA. Do the same again next time, nothing wrong here at all.
