If you move in and get called all in by both players this is +EV.

Umm.

This is completely irrelevant and doesn't respond to Voltron's post in any way.

Try again...:)

only because blind levels low + you are no where near being commited to this pot. I think you should have raised much more preflop 80~120 range.

good lay sam!

[curtains]

Definitely not easy laydown. I'm assuming this is a low buyin sit and go since the betting patterns are so strange. If this was like a $5 or $11 sit and go, I'd probably move allin with the set of aces.

[curtains]

Also I would raise more preflop. I'd make it 100.

[sng-sam]

$11 sit n go. thanks for the advice. My next question I thought the 2+2 method is to raise 3x BB with AA KK QQ and AK in the early stages? Should I have raised more?

[curtains]

sng-sam the method is not that simple! My general rules are as follows:

1. Raise 3x the BB if there are no limpers
2. If there is one limper raise 4x the BB, if there are 2 limpers raise 5x the BB and so on
3. If you are in the SB or BB facing limpers raise a little bit extra than normal to compensate for your bad position the rest of the hand


These are not cold and hard rules, but they are good guidelines.

[sng-sam]

thanks...I will adapt. Used to raise 4x or 5x BB but since coming to 2+2 I had changed that. Will readjust
