Default Re: $225 Turbo Hand - Big Preflop Fold??

Unless I have a read that one of the two guys pushing is too tight to do this without AA or KK, I generally call here. Very often you call and see both players sharing outs with AJ,AQ or AK. Plus, I like to gamble!

I think you're giving them too much credit. I'd say you're at least 40% to triple up.

I'd gladly flip a coin getting 2:1 on my money, but I guess we need to quantify what the chances are that I was up against AA or KK there.

precisely...you would HAVE to be VERY confident that it was just a coinflip otherwise as you knowyou are a 4 to 1 dog.

The hands you posted for villain is precisely what I was thinking they probably had. Especially the first allin guy. That being said, remember they both cancel each other out and have limited possibilities to improve.

I don't have an opinion on the lay down. But the more you put your villains on aces (not AA), the more attractive a call becomes.
