Grand Prix - forgive me if my memory of the finer details is poor, but, in essence

9 handed
8000/16000 - from poor memory
UTG raises to 50k from c 230k
folds to hijack who ships 800k - mid 40's seems solid, hasn't shown much but has had it at showdown when needed
cut off folds
I have AK playing 860k - hijack is the only player at the table who can do me serious damage, but conversely it's a massive potential pot

reads - UTG+1 has been waiting for 'his hand'
hijack may be shoving to isolate, but it doesn't feel like he's doing it lightly

snap call? snap fold? something in between?

yeah - i guess it is that simple

I saw it the same and folded, Hijack had KK,  but I still got a lot of adverse comment from others on the table along the 'how can you fold that?' line. They may have been influenced by the AxA flop though...

Do you think he would isolate AQ? If not I might fold and I dont like folding Ak like ever. However skim reading the updates it seems some players were playing old style nitty so maybe a fold

I mean you could fold ak here, but if you do, it's on the basis you never tell a soul,

If its on camera, and you get asked, look instantly shocked and claim you saw k4

Bit of a meh spot.

Fairly easy though.

A nitty UTG opens to over 3x (nearly a quarter of his stack). Described H/J literally has QQ+ here, maybe even KK+ to 3b jam 50bigs, I doubt he's even shoving AKs vs utg's range.

Assuming utg always calls with 2x 50bb shoves in front of him, we still need 44%, I really don't think we have that especially as either so easily have some of our outs.

meh fold.

First they came for the nits, and I did not speak out because I was not a nit

Didn't you have a golden chip in this comp?

That makes this an effective satellite bubble spot and an easy fold for me.

Without the gc it's a fist pump call.

Gonna frame this one Smiley

Daren't post the JJ fold I made later, which was more of a misread than a mistake I think.

My comment was slightly tongue in cheek David.

Fwiw, given the pay structure and the value of your golden chip, the golden chip actually makes this a reasonably trivial fold

To be honest with the golden chip there's only one hand I'd call with here and even that wouldn't be a fist pump.

I didn't value the Golden Chip as highly as the chance to win the tournament.
