Theoretical All-In Call

ezratei · #1 10-19-2005, 12:00 AM

Blinds 5/10

All folds to MP who raises to 40
You call on the button with AhKh, two to the flop

Flop: QdJdTc

MP open pushes for X (you cover him). How big does X have to be for you to fold here?

Is this a joke?

$782,453

I'm pretty sure he means "How big does x have to be that you get worried that he has A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]."

That said, it would probably have to be something like at least $20,000.

There's that.. and, I think, the more interesting part of the question involving how much money would you be willing to risk when there's likely a 30% chance that you'll lose it, whether to AdKd or a set.

This really doesn't belong in the forum, though.

I think there was one a few months ago about folding AA preflop in a cash game in the Poker Theory forum.

There's actually the same exact thread, posted by KKF a while back. People did math and stuff. It was cool.

Back at the Borgata this summer, an almost same exact spot happened with me. There was 90 in the pot (5/10) and someone pushed 3k in there. I had 2k in my stack and folded the nuts, but there was a flush draw on the board.

you forgot to finish the story..."i then immediately quit poker forever".

This was completely read dependent. This guy was one of those old retired guys who sits there all day waiting for a monster. When he saw the flop, he was convlusing so much, I was convinced he was either going to have a heart attack or his head would explode. As he was foaming at the mouth he went all in and most likely shat himself.

Fold AA Pre-Flop?

I can't find that thread that Adam was talking about.... linky?
