See, I would never make a move like that, because I just assume what happened to you is impossible. Leak?

[zephyr]

I actually don't think its a bad move. I think that one of the players will often fold here, two is pretty rare, but look it can happen. Even if you only get one fold, I don't think you're behind so much as to warrant giving up the good odds the pot is offering.

Only my opinion,

I think you are being results oriented. I'd wager that 7 of 10 times one of those two has a bigger pocket pair or AK, and will not lay it down. Congrats that they both laid it down, but I think you got lucky.

Durron,
Are you asking if his move is a leak, or your lack of making that move is a leak?

I disagree. This is a $20 SNG at party. MP raises here with a wide range of hands, and the SB calls here with a fairly wide range of hands too. I think that they both call my reraise with enough hands to make this a +CEV and likely a +$EV move.

I highly doubt that either of them had a bigger PP or AK.

Only my opinion,

SOrry, I think they are right.

I love PP because people raise all in with 55 from the BB and I take down huge pots when I have a larger PP.

Against one opponent isnt that bad, but against 2 its borderline ridiculous. You have to guess that one of them will call you, and when he does call you are going to lose over 50% of the time. You hardly have any FE and you dont have a great hand.

[ReDeYES88]

don't MP or SB have tremendous pot odds to call your bet with almost any two?

[Stoneii]

exactly his point i think - they laid down when it was clearly wrong
