Ace-King bubble play, fold preflop?
 

Villain has been raising often preflop. It could easily be any ace, any broadway, any pair less than TT. Do you call or fold here?

OK. What happens if HERO had QQ or JJ here? Which hands will HERO call with in this position?

Re: Ace-King bubble play, fold preflop?
 

AA, KK. maybe QQ if i was felling frisky. i fold JJ.

I was in a similair situation today. I knew that at worst I was dominated, and at best I was a slight underdog.

I foolishly called, and he showed queens.

w00t? Villain should and could be pushing any two here, not to mention weaker aces than AK. (You still have to fold of course.)

Re: Ace-King bubble play, fold preflop?
 

easy fold, if I am the big stack I am pushing any two, but it is still an easy fold

Re: Ace-King bubble play, fold preflop?
 

can someone explain why this is such an easy fold? if hero doubles up, he becomes chip leader and in a good position to win the tournament. he's most likely ahead.. why not call?

Screw thrid lets win.
