Please check your posts before you post them. This hand makes no sense.

Nice read and good laydown.

This is most likely a leak in my game.

Of course if you knew before hand that both players would be go allin, and you knew both of their hands, it would be an easy call. Obviously you didn't, which makes me like your fold.

Good play.

Folding seems to me to be the only reasonable play. Well done.

I hand-typed the action because the converter bugged out on the hand for some reason. It makes sense if you just read the action and don't worry about the chip amounts.

I'd fold if they both showed me their hands.

Folding if you knew you were up against JJ and QQ allin would be a biggg mistake.

It's like getting allin at even money in a coinflip situation... except its not even money. You would be offered 2-1 on a 45% shot.

I would take a 45% chance of tripling up any day.

I want you in my games.

It's not that simple because a Q or a J that comes on any street takes you out (I estimate 40% that at least 1 Q or J comes on flop/turn/river). In other words, you're not guaranteed a win if an A or K comes up.

To Atticus: easy preflop fold if you don't like taking coinflips early (which you shouldn't be usually since you have a larger edge late game than early game)

Yeah just ran the numbers, AK vs QQ vs JJ is 37%,45%,18% respectively
