Thanks for the very useful replies.


My own thoughts at the time were that even if AA wasn't out, AK was likely, and there's at least one pair out there, so I'd be drawing thin to a split at best. So I mucked.


(The last time a situation like this came up, I called and got shown AA, KK and AK making my chances slim to say the least.)


Andy, rebuys were for 500 points. That's also something I thought about.


On the other side of the debate, there's the thought that if I were to call and get lucky, I would have a very nice stack to play with. I take it you think the risks here outweigh any benefits of this risky approach?


Obviously the reason this question was asked is that I would have won the pot. The hands were 88, JJ, QQ and AJ in that order. The AJ won with a rivered ace.


Thanks again,


Guy.
