3-table ($11): First hand of FT

[Brad F.]

I arrive after playing some decent poker 3rd out of 9 as we start the final table of play. Blinds are 100/200/25.

Average is 4500, I have 6300.

UTG (3900) limps (I have seen him limping lots having played with him the whole tourney. He had limp-folded UTG twice already so I expect him to have a wide range).

MP1 then moves all-in for 4600. I am in MP2 with A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. I have not played a hand with MP1.

It's 4600 for me to call into a pot of 5325.

This one one of the stranger hands I've had to play in a while. What do you do in this situation and why?

Fold. You have 20bb fer chrissakes.

I think that this hand is more interesting that 'Fold, you have X BB's'.

Against a pretty tight range of 99+, AQ+ we're getting odds to call here are we not?

If I want to maximize my chances of getting first place, is a call merited here?
