Easy call, and your title got my hopes up that stars added higher buyin 20 table tourneys [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Of course, he turns over AK and takes the pot, the pot odds made this a pretty quick call, but the table was fairly solid, I knew i was beat and beat well. I did think though, whats he pushing with here? The best I could hope for was 10s or J's but more likely AA KK AK to which I was a big dog and none of which im 2:1 to beat although KK is pretty close. Thanks for the words of wisdom guys but next time I'm more cautious.

Sorry about the $200 in the title of the post, slip of the keyboard!

you think he just folds 99 here? and AJ?

most people will push with a range that AQ is pretty decent against here, getting 2:1 you call all day

One thing I would add is that I think a raise of only 3x BB is a bit on the light side for these final tables. I've been on a few where you would see 4-6x BB raises pretty often. So, if your table was similar, I would definitely think that your villain puts you on a steal, and that would be another consideration in getting my money in.

I agree with others, calling is correct.
