Right This happened to me when there were 13 players left in a 500 pound freezeout.

Top 10 paid, 11th 12th would have got there buyins back so really, next out is the worst position.

Guy Under the Gun raises all in for a stack of 130k (A Solid Player).  Im sitting with 120lk with average sack around 110k.

Fold Fold and to me on the button, I look down at QQ.

Now I consider my options and after much thought I folded, but when I showed my hand most people thought I should have called.

The initial raiser showed his AK.

Should I have folded?

I need to know the blinds but I would say a tight fold, AA and KK get played less aggressivley here I think so a applicable range would be AK and JJ down . QQ is possible but we know where 2 queens are so unlikley. I would say QQ is too big to fold in this spot tho in a sat I may fold it.

call here, u gotta expect KK or AA to try and find action by raising smaller, if he's got KK or AA he's lucky to find you with QQ, 'good luck to him' Cheesy

Short handed, QQ, a single raise, cold dead hands is what i would have for you to get me of QQ.

I dont know if that was joke, but I couldnt call to see a flop.  This was for all my chips.


Also I put him on either AK JJ and maybe 1010.  So I knew if I called I was ahead, but If he has AK then im in more or less a coin flip, and plus I really didnt want to bubble.

I understand what you say but the whole point is to get all of your chips in as a favourite, sometimes you get beaten but more often than not you don't.
It is a straightforward call for me, i cannot pass up these kind of opportunities.

call all day everyday. Your trying to win the tournament and winning this if it is a coinflip (at worst by your read) sets you up very nicely.

If getting your buy in back is that important it will hinder your chances of winning greatly.

yeah, but thats online. Big pairs lose more often online because they rig the software to let the bad players win more. Live is completely different
