AA super deep - do I need to get in this spot pre?

[Newmanseye]

Insanely easy pass, This is 1 hand out of many you will play with scandie drunks that have more dough than sense, you know you can take more money off them throughout the course of the night, you will find much better spots to grind out a tasty profit rather than the thrillride of aces will they bust or wont they.

Multiway its a pass for me, i know i have an edge over the table i am happy to put that edge and my mammoth stack to use in pots i have more control over.

If someone came up to you with a tip for a dog race saying hey there's this dog who the bookies have at 5-1 but I happen to know for a fact he is 6-4 to win, you'd snap his arm off!

But what if he said the minimum bet is £5000, and that was a lot of money to you?

[GreekStein]

Ok thanks to those who fell for it hook line and sinker replied. I did infact call, and all three players showed QQ. Leknave infact won the pot with no cards, whilst he wasn't in the game, at the table or even in the same city. Damn, that boy is golden.

............................

It was Kin's idea to do this thread and I guess I'm a good person to use as not many blondes actually know me but I do post on PHA a fair bit. Those who do know me know I've never played scared money in my life; I remember in my student days at Notts gala sitting in the big saturday game with my whole roll, poker + life.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to get AA all in pre for 750bbs against 3 scandies and if I had I probably would still be in hospital after a rush of blood to somewhere that's not my head. Cheers to those who replied though, some really funny mixed responses, usually completely typical of those who posted them. Some tweaked straight away and helped us go along with it (particularly good convincing responses from Tikay!) and some people fell for it and either embarrassed themselves by saying 'pass' or thought 'how can this GreekStein bloke be such a pillock - he's a cash player ffs'.

Hopefully Kin can post the funnier deleted responses.

Booooo...should have left it run longer IMO!!!  Usually, anything Tikay's involved in runs for 20 pages prior to the reveal.  Bad beat.

[kinboshi]

I had the initial idea, but it was so well executed Cos - a lot of thought went into that OP.

Sorry I had to delete a lot of people's responses early on - you'd have spoiled it for everyone with the early reveal.  Thanks to ChipPrince, gatso, AndrewT, tikay, Tighty and anyone else who helped to provide the base upon which Trigg and others could hang themselves .

Lolaments!

I thought it strange I hadnt seen him.
Thought it even stranger he hadnt seen the Kellster playing 5/10!

Only one thing to say really Kin, your mums an April.

[Pyso]

At least I said call.

Nice post, although a little too believable imo. Crazy scandies.

[daviebhoy]

Where do I find a no-look scandie bingo night ?

[gatso]

some quality replies from those who fell for it and some genuinely worrying ones too. top thread imo

It would have to be virtually my entire roll for me to pass it up. But I agree in certain spots you can turn down great gambles becuase the downside is just too big.

Anyway I got levelled lol gg wp Greekstein.

[Newmanseye]

Got me,

Although the origonal post struck me as very similar to the compelling argument Stu Ungar made for passing AA preflop in a multiway allin pot.

[GlasgowBandit]

I was reading the responses and thinking off ffs, fold if you hate money, please someone show me this is a level.

Thanks for not cotinuing I would have been ripping my hair out if i had read to the end and it wasnt a level.
