COMMENTS ON THIS HAND GREATLY APPRECIATED

LongshanksED:
fold - if you were desperate for chips 5BB or less then maybe call - you"d need at least kings to carry on imo

just last night in live £10 rebuy tourney i was playing

UTG raised 50/100BB to 350
mid position all in for 1500

me on button - i looked and came up with aces - should i shove or call?

i shoved for 2.5k, as i always try to just isolate 1 player pre flop - i hate going up with 2 or more opponents

UTG thought for a while and mucked pocket kings face up but said even if i only called the all in he"d still probably fold

mid position, all in had pocket 3"s and board came

3,K,4 flop - glad i isolated and managed at leats one fold but at least i had chips left
q turn
ACE  river

Try not to be results oriented - you made the right play in the circumstances. Most of the time, you are going to be behind in that spot, and the fold is perfectly acceptable.

Cheers Steve.  I"ve been playing around with Poker Stove and it could be argued I should have made the call if I have the first guy on something like 99+ AQ+ even if the second guy is on a much tighter range of say KK+ AK.  However I don"t like flipping for my tournament life (best case) and felt that the second guy (based on previous play) was more than likely ahead.  With 25BBs left I agree that there are better spots.
Many thanks.

Craig
