Last night in a 5+.5 SnG at UB, It was around the 2nd round (maybe 3rd) so blinds around 10/20 (15/30). I have ~T1400 and most people are pretty close to T1000 1 big stack (~2k) 1 small stack (~400) (9 players)

I was dealt A10s on the Button and figured I would finally get to play a hand. when....

UTG went All in for ~T400, another EP player called, a MP player raised (all in) to ~T650 or so, and a late player called that.

I sat in shock for a second, then mucked the hand. But it got me thinking, How good of a hand would I toss here. I have no doubt that getting rid of AT was correct, but what about AK. Maybe even play a mid pair incase I hit a set? Losing almost almost 1/2 my stack would certainly have been a setback, but the pot odds were very inticing.

What do you all think?

thanks

Easy fold. There are so many hands that could have you beat, and with that many people in the all in, probably atleast two of them have you beat.

Heck, I get a bit nervous about playing AA or KK when there are two people all in in front of me. That may be a bit weird, but that's me.

AA, KK, AKs is prolly the only hands I would consider playing.

With two all-ins in front early, I'll play AA and almost always KK, but probably nothing else, save some kind of unusual circumstance like a known maniac and a known knower of maniac calling the "bluff."

I agree, I have actually tossed AK this spot, and wished I had in others. When there are multiple all-ins, it is almost certain that someone has a pair, and someone has an A or K in their hand. This really kills your outs.
