Do you Fold or Call ?

(1/4) > >>

Zozzy:

Please feel free to comment on the rights and wrongs of the initial decisions,  but my main question is should you call or fold to the all in.
Overview:
You have just been moved to a new table only 15 minutes ago, so aren"t sure how everyone is playing.
You have some previous history of the two villains (player on Button is a winning player in tournaments and high stakes cash, can be creative  and is aggressive in late stages of tournaments - the player in Small blind  you respect his game and speak to him away from the table, solid and not seen him step out of line too often.
It is GUKPT Main Event b&m Comp £500 buy-in. It is day 1 of  3days.
It is near the end of level 4 (60mins blind levels) blinds 100 /200
starting stack 20k
you are utg with 22k , Button 17k , sb 21k

You raise 4X to 800 with AQ suited spades
Button and SB call ,three players see the flop

Flop: Ace hearts Queen clubs 3 hearts

SB leads out 900 into a pot of 2600 ,you decide to flat call, Button raises to 3100, SB doesn"t think for too long and pushes all in.

??? Back to you

Zozzy:
It is a re-enry tournament. The Button you know for sure will re-enter if he busts out because no bankroll problems. The SB player you don"t know how he is placed to re-enter or not.
You have no intention of re-entering.

This could influence your decision ?

Pretty sigh spot really.

Altho i hate the 4x pre it actually helps shape the hand here, as i can imagine only the sb set mining with 3s

You have top 2 on a safe board with blockers and no info that suggests AA/QQ.

Its not a draw heavy board at all, and sounds like players involved can get tricky.

Question is, for me, how tough is your table??  If my table is tough, and im struggling to pick up pots i would probably call, but if super soft table i can be happy with a fold here.....calling off 100bbs with top 2 is pretty vile.

The lead of from sb is small, and the raise from btn is a pretty obv attempt to help him define his hand vs 2 villians in position.  I would assume i have him crushed alot of the time, and am not worried about him too much....

I think i would raise the flop myself to try and eliminate the button, as we then play subsequent streets in position.

Hmmm, ive mulled over this one the whole time in writing the reply and think i call......its not a great call, but at this stage we lose to 1 hand (33) as AA/QQ wont be playing it this way.....ahhhh f**k, im not too sure.

No, No, No - Hero fold ftw!!!

Horrible spot

AMRN:
Wrote a response, then deleted and wrote a different response, then deleted that too.

Final answer - no idea whether I call or not, and it probably comes down to situational circumstance, ie any live reads, how much edge we believe we have at the table, etc.

In a vacuum, I can"t argue a case either way.

mousebob:
Hero (weak?) fold for me.
Not 100% by any means. If I"ve had 1/2 shandy the chips are probably in already.
Smaller raise pre.(2 1/2x).
I also would have raised flop.
Being new to table makes it much harder.
There may be some history between the other two & you"re stuck in the middle.
