Re: Humanly possible to get away from this?
I think it's conceivable to fold it preflop under perfect conditions, but playing in SNGs online, I cannot imagine how that would happen. If we started with stacks of 100k chips instead of 800 or 1000 I might believe someone after a few reraises. Or if I didn't see people call 500 cold with KJ in the first rounds of blinds like the hand that just went down 10 minutes ago [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
I do what I can preflop to get in all my chips with KK or AA, and just assume they're nuts when I have KK and hope for the best. On Party I usually do the same with QQ although more cautiously, bailing if there are multiple raisers that are going nuts or someone's moved in or made a huge raise, there are just too many bad players willing to give away their money in the first few hands not to risk losing to someone rational with KK or AA. Of course, after the 1 or 2 maniacs do what they need to do and distribute all their chips to someone else, going completely nuts with QQ vs. the rational remaining players can be suicidal.
