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

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

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

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

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!!!
