AJ on an A22 flop to check/raise AI ($27)

[taipan168]

From memory these guys were your standard loose players, can't remember exact HUD stats but they were both around 30/5 from memory.

I'm beat with the cold call and check/raise AI, no?

30/5 isn't loose in my book unless it was just up to this point in this tourney.

Oh, and I fold here as well although I hate doing it.

You face KsJs and ATo

I'm always tempted to call these, but would fold. CO probably has the flush draw, but I'm not sure what BB would do this with, that you beat. I don't see him doing this with AT or worse, unless he's really bad. He could have AQ I suppose.

[RockyMoose]

Would BB c/r squeeze with a flush draw? If you were BB with KQs, how would you play this hand?

I fold here and am grumpy about it.

[Nakamura]

It seems like the BB's range here could include a lot of Ax's. After what may perceived to be a standard c-bet and a cold-call, the BB squeezing with any A seems quite likely. The BB could conclude it would be unlikely the CO has an A with a FD out there, as he probably would have raised to protect his hand.

I would probably think about it for a bit and fold, but it seems close.

Interestingly enough I cross-posted this on 2+2 and the consensus was to snap call:

[GatorJH]

not very many responses though and honestly when I first read this my initial thought was snap call in a MTT, but in a SNG I just think it is close enough to wait for a better edge.

Weird spot, actually the only real hand I am scared of is AQ

I still think I call this

[Rage2100]

I'm interested to know why some people on 2+2 are saying BB's range could include PPs or Ax hands. Are players really that loose at the $27s?

BB called pre-flop after an MP2 raise and a call in-between. I can see him having a PP at this stage, and is calling to hit a set. Would someone really call here with a hand like AT or A9 though?

After the flop, BB check-raises all-in after two players have put another 350 chips each into the pot. There is an A on board, so why would he do this with a PP?

[taipan168]

I really could not work it out either, I definitely put CO on some kind of flush draw or Ax and the only realistic hands that BB could have that beat me would be AQ, AK or AA - and they could easily have a worse Ax that they wanted to pull the C-R AI with.

Anyway I did end up calling.

He is getting a bit of a discount in the BB, so I expect a loosish player to play many Ax or PP type hands here.

Standard squeeze play, after a c-bet and cold-call, with a PP or any Ax, if he thinks Hero will only be calling with AJ+ type hands. I imagine this is why folks on 2+2 are suggesting a snap-call.

[drmcboy]

When you get cold called pre with these stacks I wouldn't make many folds assuming someone has AQ/AK, especially the BB but either one really.

[mcatdog]

Not folding ever.

I know results don't matter, but I am still super curious about this one. What did they have?

CO had KsJs and BB had AKo.
