Who could lay this down and why?

    Default Who could lay this down and why?

    If I fold my M is 16.5. I'm calling 14845 into a 36339 pot - winning = crusing ITM, losing mean a struggle to get ITM. Other perspectives? I though it was quite possible he had KK, but had no specific read.

    Losing WOULD be a struggle to get ITM, given that you would be out of the tourny But I guess by losing, you mean folding. Tough. I don't know if I could lay this down on that board. The only hands you could put him on were KK QQ and JJ. This is just one of those tough spots you get into where you forced to a tricky decision for all your chips. 8 times out of 10 I'm calling this without any further reads on opp.

    FTR (for the record, not flopturnriver), I would have raised more PF, probably to about 7200. Not that I think this would have made any difference to the outcome.

    make a real raise pre flop.

    never fold on that board - in addition to KK, QQ, TT, 88 are all OK with gambooling on that flop. And if he has a J he's not going to lay it down here. Plenty of peole suck enough to get to the flop with JT+ here.

    worry more about winning and not at all about ITM. ITM does not pay the bills.

    working myself up to FTR fullhouse status while not giving 1 solid piece of advice
    HOW MUCH IS HE SUPPOSED TO RE-RAISE? HE MADE IT 10X THE BB TO GO - IF HERO HAD THE JACKS HERE, IT WOULD BE EASIER TO LET GO, BUT WITH THE ACES I CALL MOST OF THE TIME - IF THE GUY TURNS UP AJ OR KK (WHICH MIGHT VERY WELL STILL MAKE A CHECK RAISE ALL IN) WE ARE MONEY - I TAKE MY ACES TO THE END THERE

    ITS ALMOST A MIN RAISE. WHO CARES HOW MUCH IT IS COMPARED TO THE BB. THE ONLY HAND IT MAKES SENSE TO RAISE THIS MUCH WITH IS AA. TRY AND NEVER MAKE A PLAY YOU CAN ONLY MAKE WITH AA.

    Irrelevant. The size of the BB went out the window as soon as the first raise was made. Any re-raise should be factoring in the size of the initial raise, not the size of the blind. 3x re-raise looks standard.

    Hero never gets away. Preflop is fine.
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

    This is also irrelevant.

    It doesn't have anything to do with the number of times the raise. You only need to raise enough to where they can't call with proper implied odds. Since the stacks are fairly deep here, we should have raised to around 3.5x the original raise, but if the effective stacks were 10k, then even minraise would be sufficient.
