Re: 2 all ins with 3 people left
Well, if you plan on calling with a hand like KJo with two people all-in preflop, I think you are usually up against an ace. The best scenario would be against hands like 55 and Q-10.
I would typically fold with a hand like KJ unless these two smaller stacks have been consistently pushing with any two. Opponents stack sizes help here too. |

Re: 2 all ins with 3 people left
ok I say you had 5500 in chips, 2nd had 1500 and third had 1000. the two small stacks go all in with blinds at 100-200. I think in this situation I would gamble because even if I lost, I would still have 4000 chips.
On the other hand, if one stack was a fair size and could dent you, it might be better to fold. Even if someone had an ace, the percentages with the kjo still make it a 1/3 situation if the third person had two other cards, like qts. Im rambling a bit, but what do you think of my logic regarding this situation. |

Re: 2 all ins with 3 people left
Say stacks are 5000, 2500, 2500, you think you have a 20% chance to win, you are out of the blinds, and you think you are all about equally skilled.
You win 1 out of 5 right away and 2 of the remaining 4, so you win 60%. If you fold, you win 50%. Pretty easy to see what winning % is $EV neutral and to play around with pokerstove. I'll do that myself tonight. Good post. Thank you. I probably fold here too often. SFB, I think 75% is a bit optimistic, but you are right in general and thanks to you too. I might not have read this post if I wasn't curious about you posting in an on-topic thread. |

Re: 2 all ins with 3 people left
Jay, U nitwit, OP is not 20% to win first hand w/KJ...much higher...prolly 33%...So, 333 hands outa 1000 he takes 1st on 1st hand; 50/50 on remaining 667 = 333...Total = 66% ?

[/ QUOTE ] I was sorta going with a worse (not worst) scenerio to show it was still good. 33% is wishful thinking though. I played around with pokerstove and would think more like 25%, maybe a bit more. |

Re: 2 all ins with 3 people left
What do you think of the ranges I used in my pokerstove analysis post above?

Re: 2 all ins with 3 people left
Well, my first thought was the pusher's range was a little wide and the callers range was a little narrow, but works out to about the same.
The range and your chances of winning HU depend a lot on the blinds though. That's why I assumed equal skill, because then the blinds don't matter as far as winning HU. The higher the blinds are, the wider their ranges will be, the better you will do in the allin and also the smaller your edge will be in a HU match if you folded. So, either equal skills (or outskilled) or high blinds will push towards joining the allin. Edges aren't huge HU, so unless you are really good, the opponent is really bad, and stacks are fairly deep, don't count on, well, don't count on a huge edge. I'm sure I said something a little stupid in there, but my kid is having a fit and I have to go. |

I think you need a bigger chip advantage (or a better hand!) to make this play. Psparky |
