what if?

What if you are playing no Limit, and you have AA

or another big pair.....such as KK


Someone moves all in on you......and you sense that they are on an open-ended straight draw, or a flush draw, not Both, just one or the other, would it be correct to call their all in, or should you fold, because of all the outs that they have against you??


If you risk going all in and lose, you are out of the tournament.


What is the correct play?

And they don't have a pair to go with it?


Everything, all-in, down to the green, kill, maim, slaughter.


But then I'm a ring game player (see below!)

Hard to say exactly based on your example, but in no-limit you dream of having someone go all-in on you when you are ahead, especially heads up. You call, everytime.


Post-flop, it depends. If you have KK and there is an Ace on the board, I don't think I would call. If I hold AA on a rainbow flop with no made straight possible you probably call. If you are a chip leader and can easily cover then you call.


The example you gave means you will win 2 out of 3 times, then you call.
