I'm playing a 10 man tournament with people I've never played with before, but on average they seem to have a better grasp on hold'em than most I play with. The majority are rocks, with one really good player and a couple decent ones. It is fairly early in the tournament, 9 people are left, blinds are 50/100 and the following hand comes up:
UTG seems to be pretty solid, but is shortstacked with 650 (we all started with 2k) and moves all-in, it's folded around to MP, who re-raises to 1400 total (he had another 1400 behind him after the raise), everyone else folds to me on the BB, who has AQo. I had about 3k. Your play? No real read on MP, except maybe a little loose. Results below. Results: I folded. This seemed like a good fold, as I have to put one of them on a PP or AK-AT, and then I'm looking at a race/possible big dog for most of my chips against 2 players early in the tourney. The solid player knows that he cant raise an intermediate amount, so it was allin or fold, so i could put him on a range of 77-AA, AK-AJ (nothing worse than that). He may have tried to limp-RR with AA,KK, but moving in would be just as likely. I have no read on the other guy, so I have to assume similar holdings. Not to mention, that if I just call the 1400, I almost have to call the other 1400, because there would be 3600 out there giving me 2.5-1 to call. The only way I would be sitting decent in this pot is if UTG had a small pair, as did MP, or MP have a weaker ace, which would make me a big favorite for the large sidepot, and if they both have pairs, I'm looking at a good chance to triple up. However, I felt this wasn't that strong a possibility. UTG had 99, and MP had A4s (???). The 99 held up, but I would've flopped a Q to knock both out. I went on to win the tournament regardless, but I wasn't sure if folding AQo here was correct because if i won I would've become a large chipleader and would've easily dominated the table and almost certainly would have won due to aggression. |
