ok, m8 of mine was playing live the other day, £30 deepstack, 50 runners, 7 paid.

9 left, and he is 2nd ish, with 48k, average is 20k, bb is 1600.

Guy with 45k raises to 6k from ep. M8y calls in cutoff with AQ.

Flop comes down AA2, and raiser insta shoves his other 39k ish into the 15k pot.

so... insta call leaving you 3k and fcked if it goes wrong?

Instant call, I think I would put him on a high pocket pair, qq or kk and he has his fingers crossed you dont have the ace.

I have to call this all day and if im beat its just real bad luck i guess. No point calling the original raise to fold on a flop like that.

Folding will defo get ya paid but calling could and probably would win the tournament and i wanna win !

Anyway unless this guy is pretty smart why would he go all in on the flop unless he has 22. If he is that clever then wp wp gg fml

Can't play poker to win and fold hands like this. If you are wrong and go out then so be it but folding here would defeat the purpose of playing the game!

would say e ad kk,qq,snap call for me!!!
i would ask myself 1st
1,why would he shove dat flop?
2,how has he been playin,ie,rock,loose?
3,do i wana win this torny or cash?

all in all i snap call and watch him moan when he flips kk or qq!!!

Hmmm. If you snap call m8 you don't ask yourself anything let alone 1, 2, & 3!

im prob being daft as usual but me thinks the guy has pocket 2s with wot i have been seeing on laddies lately seems to happen quite alot just now and yes i would be throwing my chips in with A Q stuff the outcome wouldnt be a poker player alive woulnt unless the other fav is A K against A Q been hit with that alot 2 so ric wots the answer p but then how has the guy played to get this far it all has to add up

ok, well glad to see everyone insta-called!

Shover had AK unfortunately, and no miracle Q came, he did manage to last until the cash tho, but couldnt hold on past 7th.

Basically my m8 dropped in after playing, a bit down that he had got 95% of his chips behind in when going well. I said that it was just a cooler and anyone would call, he wasnt so sure - so i said id post it here without saying what happened, and see if anyone would fold!

bit more info would helped ,but av 2 say was an easy fold really in hindsight

what did your m8 put him on out interest rick??/
curious

I don't think you can make a decision whether to call or not unless you had enough information on the player. My action in that hand totally depends on the information & observations I have made on the player. This might even enable you to fold preflop and not have to put yourself in a situation where you have a difficult call to make.

From the info given though I would maybe put him on a range of hands like the obvious KK QQ JJ, but 22 has to cross your mind - but it takes big balls to overshove a flopped fullhouse when you want to get called.

Personally, I call. How can you fold? Why call preflop if your gonna fold trip aces on the flop?! But I still maintain that if your read's correct, AQ goes in the muck preflop here, so you don't have to deal with situations like this.
