Really? With 2 people calling my 3-bet and a 4-bet from the original guy, QQ is good enough times to push this? I'd have thought there was a fair chance of one of those 3 others dominating me.

Yes there is a chance - but there's a greater chance that you dominate them or (at worst) are flipping against AK with the cold callers' dead chips as overlay.

POOOOSSSHHHH

Seriously, have you never seen the players who couldn't fold 27o on the first hand of a SnG if their life depended on it? The only player I'd be worried about is the one who 4bet, and if he's unknown his range is potentially so wide here I push without a second thought.

[bjsaust]

All unknown, and yes you're both right, I ran into a bunch of 'cant fold a paint card on first hand' type players.

I folded the best hand PF I believe.

MP1 had TT and hit his set on the flop and pushed.
UTG called 700 with KQ and then called flop push with a gutshot draw.
Button called 700 but folded to flop push.


Fortunately I redeemed myself by getting QQ 3 hands later and doubled against a KJ SB who called my 4xBB raise PF, bet and then called my push on a J high flop.

[FlyingSaucy]

I fold it preflop to the 4 bet.

I shove here. I've seen folk re-reraise 10-10, 9-9 and even 8-8. your only dominated by 2 hands Aces and Kings. the chances are, at this level, they have a lower PP and just cant put them down, especially 1st hand.

As someone said in a prev post I read recently:
SHOVE IT AND LOVE IT lol

I see 22 here a lot actually They put you on 1 hand, not a range, and decide that you are on AK. Then because they saw on TV the other day that 22 is fav against AK and they call

Was in a hand recently and had K-K on the Button. few limpers and a raise before it got to me, I reraised, limpers fold and original raiser reraises, I reraise him all-in and he calls, flips over 6-6... I laugh, he hits quads!! lol

In the 5.50s, there are usually 3 or 4 players who don't know what they're doing, vastly overplay marginal hands, or want to get a swift double up in. They tend to be the ones who either bust out early or double or triple up and (hopefully) bleed away their stack to you as the game progresses.

I think it's close here, but you are holding the 3rd best hand possible, and it's likely you're up against people who'll go all in with AJ and 77 type hands. I think you have to call.

[Geanosssss]

$5+.5o? stick it in. players at these stakes are idiots
dw bout UTG he propably has A6s or something wank. MP1 could have anything from AA to 88. Now in that range theres a lot more hands u beat than ur behind against.
