[pergesu]

I so desperately wanted to fold. Then I remembered gildwulf's post a couple days ago so I decided not to.

This one

Of course we see that later on he gets wtf_pwned. So maybe I should have just ignored it.

A raise, two callers, then two allins? This is a spot I would probably fold QQ.

[gumpzilla]

So, you raise, get two callers, two pushes, and still have the callers left to act? I'm folding QQ here probably 90% of the time unless both pushers have already proven themselves to be hardcore donkeys.

On second thought... the way the action went it's probably more likely they have each other's outs instead of having me dominated. If it went raise push push it's probably AA or KK but with raise call call push push seeing AA or KK out there is so unlikely with 5 people liking their hand... anyone have thoughts on this logic?

[Karak567]

I call here. Too often you will be shown AK, AQ or JJ or lower. Even with two in front of you.

If you see AA or KK *shrug*.

A lot of players like to gamb00l and "take coinflips" at early levels and will push their low PP and get called by medium PPs and overcards.

so what happened And 'wtf pwned' is a pretty strong term

Yeah, I don't like it. You think that the second pusher is less likely to have AA or KK when you consider that there are three people remaining to act rather than one? While it's possible that the callers have A's or K's, it's also very possible that they have hands like T9s or 66. It's not like there's significantly more dead money in the pot with callers vs. no callers compared to the amount involved in the pushing, either. I expect one of the pushers to be showing me KK+ very frequently here.
