ok, you've made the final table there's 10 players seated and its the first hand. Your in mid position with just under 100k chips with blinds at 5k and 10k. There is already 1 limper so there is 25k in the pot. You have  and also notice a woman sat opposite is starting to look fidgety. She has already looked at her cards but from past experience you know that she'll play any pocket pair aggressively.

whats the best play here? all-in or fold?

whats the best play ignoring the womans reactions ?

how many chips has the limper got?  what is their style? limp with marginals? trapper? etc..ie do you have any fold equity against the limper?

whats the average stack, dispersion of chips and payout structure?


it all affects the decision big time

Why so much info on the woman yet to act? You've told us nothing about the limper, who is the first player to consider.

With no info on limper it's a fold - no need to get involved.

If limper is known for weak limps which he will let go (and for not getting trappy with AA) then pushing is an adventurous play (but still incorrect, due to impending action behind you).

With fidgety woman and no info on limper it's a crystal clear fold for me.

The limper makes this a clear push, the woman who might have a hand makes it a clear fold.

Good spot to go looking for though m8

I would fold but i think it may be well by mathematically quite close in an MTT format.

Push every time for me...except when you have a fidgety "I've got a big pair" player sitting accross from you whom you have a read on.

Fold for me this time

the limper has slightly more chips than me but he plays any 2 connecting cards, suited cards, picture card rags to see what the flop gives him. the woman has about the same as me. average is about 80k with only a couple of low stacks

to finish this thread off - I folded this hand as I sensed the womans strength. the woman raises all-in, small and big blind folds and the limper calls.

she shows    while he shows 

flop comes  with no further improvement on either hand. I would have flopped a straight and won the pot but felt that it was a good enough read to fold anyway
