350k Hand

I just started playing some MTTs, I usually play 10/20 6-max Limit. I have no reads on the guy so I am assuming he is decent atleast. That makes me want to think that his range for doing this is something along the lines of.. AA, KK, AKs, ATs(?), QQ, JJ, TT.

I am an underdog to AKs, AA, KK, TT. 19 ways.
I am ahead ATs, JJ. 10 ways
Tie with QQ, 1 way.

And when you weigh these and try to put some sense into all this I would be inclined to say that the higher pocket pairs are more probable to make this play. Anyway, I have no clue if my thoughts are correct here, but it felt ok.

yeah.... easy call. Come on, is he really pulling the trigger with AA/KK now? Why wouldn't he let you continue to bet? Why would you even consider TT to be possible? I'd believe JJ/AT/AK/underpair/bluff. You'd have a really hard time convincing me he held a hand that beats QQ. In fact, I'd take 8:1 odds against.

Yea. It is an easy call. Can you honestly say he's pushging with AA or KK here? Very weak fold.

Honestly? No I can't really put him on AA/KK. I don't really play these bigger stars tours regularly, so I don't know the standard of play. I guess next time i'll have to reconsider.
