10-man Sng, First Hand


Recommended Posts

Let's say it's a $10 10-man Sit-n-Go. First hand. You are the BB. All 9 players before you went all-in. You look down and find AA. Do you call?Let's say the 9 hands are completely random. Do you call?Let's say the 9 hands are somewhat reasonable, with the possibility of AA, AK, KK, QQ, TT, 66, 27o, ... etc in the mix. Do you call?Let's say somehow you know for sure another AA is held by another player, so you are calling for almost a chop or worse (unless a 4-flush of your suit comes). Do you call?

Sweet, merciful death would be preferable to answering that question.

if you know for sure the other 9 hands are AA, KK, QQ, JJ, TT, 99, 88, 77, 66, there are 16 cards in the remaining 32 that can turn a set to beat you. Those 16 cards not showing up in all the 5 community cards are roughly 3% (0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5). So you are almost 1 to 33 underdog to call a pot with 1 to 4.5 odds? Am I missing something?

Imagine you're playing in the big game and you're dealt AA in LHE. The betting's capped 3-ways in front of you, when all of a sudden a wolf jumps into the casino and bites a huge chunk out of your leg. Do you fold and go right to the hospital or do you finish the hand first? Does the fact that your hand will be made obvious by the fact that you didn't go to the hospital compensate for a great deal of equity? Would you be more likely to finish out the hand if the other players didn't know that there was a giant chunk missing out of your leg? Interesting theoretical question here. Oh, and it's still more likely than 9 players going all-in in front of you in a SNG.

Rules for ST SnG'sAA-QQ push preflopFlop a set, straight, flush, pushYou'll get callers. What more do you want, yes push with AA, you'll probably get 2-3 callers
Reread the OP. EVERYONE went all-in preflop.

I would say the clear answer here is to ....Run to the bathroom and gag yourself until you vomit, piss yourself , then run back to your desk and beat yourself over the head with a frying pan....when you come to, the SNG will be over.....and you'll smell like a baby.

I personally would fold. You are almost assuring yourself to finish in the money if you do. And if after that hand it is just you and the one, maybe two (if chopped) winners of the hand left, I still say you have a shot at winning.

Ok guys. I agree that this is a very very unrealistic scenarios to happen. But what if it really happens? I am just trying to analyze it from the pot odds angle (as that's the only thing left to analyze in that hand). If all hands are random, of coz it's a no-brainer call. But what if you think many of those people have pocket pairs and you suspect one of them has AA as well? You may not even have the pot odds to call it for a chop that's all I am asking.

You left out some very important information.Is this your last $10?How many of the other players are wearing sunglasses?How many chips can you shuffle?Which came first, the chicken or the egg?What is the meaning of life?And most important......Why?
