3/6, 9 handed.
You post in the hijack and the CO is also a poster. UTG (an aggressive player) raises and gets two cold callers to you. You have ATo. Edit: Sorry. The first coldcaller has only $10 at the start of this hand, if you think that matters. |

I call. With the two cold callers and only needing to call 1 bet, I would call a very wide variety of hands.

Re: I\'m not usually one for pre-flop questions, but ...
I would certainly call with "worse" here. The problem (for me) is that ATo is this situation is possibly quite a bit worse than, say, 86s.
For what it is worth, I called, but later I was wondering how many would argue for a fold (or a raise). |

Call.
The UTG raised could have a pair like KK-TT. you have a 1/6 chance to hit the ace and its well worth the 9.5:1 (estimating) to call here. 1:28 you make 2 pair or better. your looking at around 51 possibilities vs AK-AJ, AA, 24 possibilities vs KK-TT, 16 possibilities vs KQ, He might even raise with KJs there or 99. So even if your 1/6 was cut in half (8%) now add the miricle flop (3.45%) your looking at 11.45% to hit a hand. With implied and the Position of POWER its worth it. |

Call. Your effective odds are enormous.
This is one of those pre-flop situations where it really helps to be good at poker. I mean that seriously... the seeming difficulty of this situation is that you have a hand that may be dominated and don't want to pay off in that situation. But, with good post-flop skills, you should be able to limit your reverse implied odds here and find this hand to be +EV. |

I spoke to another 2+2er about this and he went from raise to fold to call in about 60 seconds. (I think he too is firmly behind call now.) As it happens, the flop was 678 and the river a 9, so the post-flop play was not hugely difficult (the only real question being, "do you raise the flop for the free card?"). |

I call, but I don't like posting in the hijack, when the CO might also post.
