If you were playing for 1 mill HU and the opposing player anounced that he was going all in everytime and putting his cards on their back everyhand before you make your decision.

Antes and blinds are negligible.

1st hand he announces all in and turns over 72o, you look down and see the beautiful ACES.

Do you call or fold?

Call. %ages demand it. If you weren't going to call in that situation you shouldn't be in the game.

Ok so where did I go wrong in the answer?

errr call.

You wont get a better edge preflop

OMG we agree, I must be on the right track  ::)

call....and then some....i cant see the trap door here

what about AA v AK or 55 v 52 etc

better edge. i'd still call tho.

I would call with aces vs any two here. If he gets lucky, I'll just shoot him. :)

but if every hand you will see his cards why not wait till you have him dominated?

in a dominated situation, if he get lucky and hits an out on the flop, you inturn become the Dominated!

call man call , i would call with aa v any 2 here but 67s  would loosen my bowles a little

you fold and wait for KK v K2.

nice one. some sense to this madness. don't forget it's a million so why not give yourself the best odds of winning.

come off it

enough!

call. instantly. relax. let fate play it's hand

throttle the bugger if it beats you

I suppose it depends how much you want a million. what about a billion?

I'd ask him if he wanted to chop  :D

How can the antes and blinds be negligible?

Well you could have 500k each and blinds of 1/2

They still wouldn't be negligible because if you kept folding you'd be antied away.

Are you related to Ironside? :D

lol. Not as far as I know.  ;D

What I mean is that to answer the question u have to know how the antis are going to affect you so you know how many times you can keep folding whilst you wait for the most favourable holdings possible.

True. I think i'd take my chances with AA vs 72 anyway... :D

Same here - unless the blinds were really really small in comparision to the chipstacsk.

To be honest, I don't think the scenerio is gonna crop up too often.  ;D

you could ante away over 300k or more in chips even with blinds of 1/2 waiting for Khkd v ks2d
so then a double up wouldn't even give you 50% of the chips
ie over 200k hands

i would take my chance with AA v anything

If the blinds are negligible though (ie. so ineffective they aren't worth considering), then you can wait for KK v K2.

I'm guessing in most scenarios though, you should take the aces and shove it in.  ;D

the blinds would need to be something like 1/2 with stacks of about 5mill 10 mill for this to be a profitable wait

i could do the maths but i am useless at proving the maths behind this so i will leave it to the uni grads'

Is that if waiting for KK v K2 or just any more favourable position than AA v 72?  :)

I love it when we take the fun out of these threads.

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

AhAd v 7h2d is good enough for me

AhAd v 7s2s is good enough for me

Are u in a tunnel??  ;D ;D ;D

yep

I am in the dark

if the blinds are say 1p/2p then I think you'd be insane not to wait unless you've got enough money that a million won't dramatically affect your lifestyle. How many hands a day would you get dealt. 600? £9 a day. £3285 a year. I think I could wait a while for a mill.

I'd still get outdrawn.  >:(

Snoopy you've got it real bad!

Hope you get your HU confidence back..... after the blonde comp though

I don't see why not. I'm gonna win after all.

That's better, nothing more comforting than misplaced confidence.
