AKs make this call??

rockythecat99 · #1 10-07-2005, 09:21 PM

No real reads I just got to this table a couple of hands ago. Besides my flat call which I think I shouldve reraised to give me a better idea where I was at. Who makes this call and who folds and why?? Take into account that I could care less about anything but making the final table.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

BB (t7675)
UTG (t9513)
UTG+1 (t4925)
Hero (t4515)
MP2 (t2680)
MP3 (t2757)
CO (t4740)
Button (t2780)
SB (t3395)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
1 fold, UTG+1 raises to t400, Hero calls t400, MP2 raises to t2680, 2 folds, Button raises to t2780, 2 folds, UTG+1 folds, Hero ???

If you're playing to win I think you have to make this call. There's about t6300 in the pot and it's about t2400 for you to call. Giving you better than 2:1 with AK suited. The action ends with you so you're not losing any more than this.

I think you should have reraised the original raiser, especially when he min raises. Had you reraised him to t1600 or so this would be an automatic call. I think it still is. If you lose you still have about 9xBB and aren't out. If you win you now have over 10k and are in a great position to go deep in the tourney.

Yes. Call.

Does anyone think they might be against Aces or Kings here? Sure, the min raise UTG means nothing, and perhaps the first all in also just means a good but not great hand because the guy is kinda short stacked, but that button going all in kinda has me worried. The pot odds are good but I have a strong suspicion that hero might be up against Aces or Kings.

What's the buyin?

10+1 pstars. Betgo what about if it was one of the big tourneys?? Would that change things?? How much so?? Also I already ran some numbers on pokerstove but what you guys input first. What range of hands do you put villains on?

In a $10 tournament, this is definately a call. In a $100 tournament, it is closer, but I would call anyway. You have 2 players allin, but only for 13xBB.

You're getting 2.76:1 so you only need around 27% equity to come out even. So it's at least break even to call unless you're up against Aces, both a pair and AK, or both Kings and AceX. Those situations are pretty rare and villains in this hand don't need huge hands to push in a 10 dollar buy-in with ~14BB stacks. So you've got to call.
