Good laydown? If I called and lost, I would still have over 1000 chips left with plenty of time to rebuild it. If I won, I'd get a huge chip boost and be able to bully people around for a while. What do pot odds dictate? I thought it was a good laydown then but now that I think about it, I'd be getting roughly 3:1.

I think that in this spot, its a very easy laydown.
I don't think that against 3 allins you have a 1 in 3 chance of winning this hand.

you only need to win 1 in 4. and you won't win 1 in 4. i'd be very surprised if someone didn't have QQ-AA. i'd call KK but fold QQ here.

Re: Good laydown?
 

A definite fold. It's very early in the tournament, which usually means that at least one your opponents has you dominated with AA-QQ. The short stack might be making a desperate move, but when another guys raises all-in to 880 and gets a cold caller, you know your JJ is way behind.

Did you fold it?

Re: Good laydown?
 

What about pushing over top? Just curious how that might play out, numbers wise, since if Fatal calls all in and kurosh beats him, he just about breaks even even if he lost the rest of the pot. Of course, he still has the chance to win the rest of the pot as well.

With players still to act, what does Fatal's cold call rather than over push say? I'd think he'd want to lock out any more players.

Re: Good laydown?
 

With 3 all ins you have to believe your jacks will not hold up unless you spike a set on the flop. I forgot the percentages that a higher card than a jack will hit the flop, but i think its above 50%. And like you said its early in the tourney [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Results:
Johnny310 had 33
Milfbrigade had 77
FatalV3nom had KQo?????

Johnny hit a set but Milfbrigade hit a straight. I had the best hand but would've lost badly. PP people are insane. Calling TWO all-in's with KQo?! I was positive one of them had one ace at the very least.
