AQ 3-Handed Facing Two Pushes
 

Interesting situation.
I'm 2nd in chips.
What's your move here and what do you do if you're chip leader by 10 chips instead? First guy is pushing any ace, any pair, any two cards that add up to ten. Second guy A6o+, any PP any two broadway.

Just by reading the topic: Fold

Unless you are very shortstacked I would rather have them knock eachother out than risking being knocked out myself

Re: AQ 3-Handed Facing Two Pushes
 

Based on your read of their ranges, push.

Folding gives you about 37% of the prize pool. You are probably about 40% to win the showdown. (Just my WAG)

GG

Re: AQ 3-Handed Facing Two Pushes
 

remember that it takes better cards to push when someone else has pushed.

Re: AQ 3-Handed Facing Two Pushes
 

Good point. SB's pushing range would (should) tighten up after Button pushes. Given that, can I expect to win at showdown more than 37% of the time? I dunno. It's close, IMO

GG

Re: AQ 3-Handed Facing Two Pushes
 

Very close here...the only thing that would lead me to calling would be that I'm in second chip position and if the SB and I both get knocked out, I get second money, and if I fold and the SB gets knocked out I'm down 2 to 1 with monster blinds. Sh it I call. The blinds are too high. If I win, I'm getting 1st obviously, button will have 120 left.

GAMBLE BABY!!!
