I just had a bad feeling about calling this one... semi-tight player going all-in from UTG? I thought he would be stronger than what he was.

The thing I'm wondering about is that with 2 stacks 1/2 my size, and a strong UTG raise, should laying this hand down enter my mind at all?

I call this pretty easily because the other stacks arent really that low and if I'm passing up hands like AK I may never see a better one the rest of the game. You win this hand you are now left with 4 people a nice chip stack that you can hopefully increase even more with some solid bubble play.

[faquewdikhed]

how close is it from an ICM standpoint?? It ended up being a coinflip (villain had TT). I figured it was a coinflip or I had villains AJ or AQ dominated.

[NYCNative]

I call if I like coin flips. Al all-in UTG with gthat many chips screams out "I don't want to play a flop, I want to win it now." You don't do that with Kings or Aces, the only two hands you are afraid of seeing.

Against AA-99, AK-AQ, AKo is 50%. Against AA-77, AK-AJ, AKo is barely 52%. Against AA-66, AK-AT, AKo is 55%. I don't think any of those spots is worth calling, but at the $11's, it's tough to give people this much credit, even though they love limping with stuff worse than above, and don't like raising often.
