Were you wrong? Not in my opinion. You don't have a power hand agains a full table. Get the heck out. Why risk it?

I fold almost every time in this situation. The only time I wouldn't is if villain has been a complete goofball throughout the tournament.

Sidekick, regarding the goofball comment. Villain has been going all-in 2 out of every 3 orbits. Does this qualify as goofball?

ARE YOU GUYS CRAZY?

I don't see how you can fold this hand with the blinds at 150/300 with only a 1200 chip stack. THAT IS 4X TIMES THE BIG BLIND AND YOU HAVE A PREMIUM HAND VS. A PUSH.

A fold would be absolutely insane here. I would probably call with an A 10 and alot of PP. You have finally picked up your monster now get in all your chips as a favorite versus his most likely weaker hand.

I agree; the only hands you worry about are AA, KK, QQ, AK. You are better than a far longer list that would push at this stage.

If villain has been going all-in that often then I call in a heartbeat.

And for the record... AQo is NOT a monster hand. It is a good hand to push all-in on at this stage, but it is not a hand I want to be calling an all-in with.

easy call, sounds like this suy is pushing any ace here so you likely have him dominated or are a coinflip.

Amen. Add in the fact that the guy has been bullying, and it's time to make a stand. Odds are, it isn't going to get much better, so go for it. You can't be too picky when short stacked.

The only way to fold this hand is if hes been making only "solid" pushes and you feel that your chances of making the money will be better by folding. With five people still left tho I think you have to take a stand because you have a great chance of winning if you take this pot.

There is some major weak-tightness going on in this thread!

I cannot imagine folding this down to anyone unless I have played with the player numerous times and observed squeaky tight bubble play. Even if I did observe tight bubble play I would still have a hard time laying this down with only 4x the bb.

Easy call.

With the blinds that large, you should call. You have to take your stand some time, and that's the best hand you can ask for before you're blinded out. If you double up, you're a big factor again and prob place. Weak play in these situations create a lot of 4th and 3rd regulars in my opinion.

The extra 450 from the blinds more than makes up for the slight dog you maybe against pairs. It is +EV chips for all hands except AA, KK, AK, and QQ, that chances that in a 5 player game somebody has one of those hands is roughly 8-1 against.

I guess it depends if you want to go for first or settle for 3rd.
