Paradise poker 10+1
Blinds 10/20
Ok first question:
I have 1890 or so pretty much tied for second biggest stack in the BB I'm dealt QQ. Everyone folds to SB +2. He has 500 he goes all in, SB+1 has 400 he calls all in. BB has 1500 he goes all in. Now what should I do?
In this situation, I layed down my hand. I assumed that in that mess someone had to have AA or AK, I figured that there was no point in risking my stack. However in retrospect, I'm really wondering, would the 3 to 1 on my money been worth it? Especially when if I lost I would still have 300? I went on to still place first but I really feel like I missed a decent opportunity. Comments?
Results of the allin's :
SB+2 turned over A8s
SB+1 turned over K9s
SB turned over AKo
Flop came complete rags, I would have taken it down.
I'm wondering if I should have factored that with that many people Aces would be almost out of the deck.
Second hand.
blinds are 200/400
I have 4700+ 5 people left 2 with 500 the other two have about 2500.
I'm dealt 22
Folds to SB (who has 500) who raises.
Now at this point I figure that if he had a pocket pair he would have all in'd. I re raise 500 to put him all in. He calls and shows J3o I took it down. I'm wondering was that too aggressive?
My reasoning was that he didn't have a pocket pair so I had to be favored. Besides I didn't really expect him to call. Anyway opinions? Thanks in advance
