AT in the BB faced with a push from the SB

Wow, I'm really surprised at these answers. I think I fold this pretty quick. Although its possible that the SB has a weaker ace, I think a bigger ace is much more likely, as he is pushing for A LOT. I dont think he is putting over 10 big blinds here with a weak hand. I cant beleive that so many people would call this without a specific read on the SB as being loose. I think the BB would either be marginally ahead here, or way the hell behind.


PS: I dont care that he called with a coinflip and lost. I think usually this call wouldn't be so close.

What would you do if you were in the SB (knowing that the blinds are going up next hand) with A2?

Option 1) Make it 80k, fold to an all in knowing that I am not getting 2-1 on my money , and im far worse than 2-1 to win.

2) Call, see what happens on the flop if big blind checks (sometimes i like playing poker with more than 2 cards-even if the blinds are ridiculous.) Or fold if he raises preflop.

Well, look at it from the villians perspective. Why would he risk all his chips with a hand as A9 or worse? Why not make a standard 4BB raise?

I would fold here in an instant, unless I knew he was a player who moved all-in with any-ace in these spots (and even then I might not want to gamble).
