your about 30%-66% favourite, thats not a no brainer IMO for final tables...

It really is. On the bubble is the only place I could even remotely see any reason but even then there there is no way I'd fold.

You have to play to win in an MTT, you'll have a big chance to knock out 2 players (or triple up) and build a huge stack for the final table.

easiest call in the world

I was reading this post and then I got this hand...I LOVE IT!! Wrong area to complain about a hand, but its fitting.

(by that I mean nice hijack)

"And then you're gonna find the biggest problem isn't bringing the stuff in, it's what to do with all the fucking cash!!"


seriously I was getting opinions for what I should do in what I considered a somewhat questionable call, and I will follow your guys advice, but I gotta say If im ever in FINAL table of a huge money tourney, im laying that shit down and letting the two guys duke it out themselves, and get my double going heads up on another hand or with a trap...needless to say im not a tourney player(HU,cash,6 man sng)...I dont like 3 way pots(when its even chips, If im double stacked totally different story)!! dats some noob freeroll shit... I know you guys are right though, I am pretty ballsy player, I do play to win, but damn 3 way pot everybody even chips, and your gonna put it all on the line instead of wait for a more definate call in a HU situaution?

EDIT: Alternatively I started to think of it like this, If im AA, and early position shoves on final table mostly likely hes got AKs, AQs, AKo..ok middle shoves most likely QQ, JJ, or Ax...ok Aces are pretty much exauasted, odds are one of the guys is holding mid-mid-high pair or Ax,..ok good call, outs are outed...

Seriously, just stop playing tournaments I give up on you

RG - that hand is completely different

edited-reread

I think the only time I would ever really lay down AA preflop is if you're right on the bubble and one of the other guys getting knocked out will put you ITM. And even then it would be a hard lay down.
