Below is the knockout hand from my most recent torunament. I just got moved to this table so have no information about any of the players. With the raise and reraise in front of me I am suspicious that at least one of the players has a high ace and another has at least a pair. I only have 13 big blinds left so am I nuts for even considering folding here?

You've got 13BB's, pick up the 3rd best starting hand in HoldEm and your thinking about waiting for something better?

WTF is close?

Gotta shove that, Paddy, even if the min raise and min re-raise are looking rather sinister. Sure, you could fold, but QQ is really too good a hand not to give her a shot with.

uhm please convert and yah all you can eat stick it in we have to we can't fold queens in this spot but i wouldn't be too suprised if you are way behind but folding is out of the option, we are too short to see a flop before we get it in also so as a matter of deductive reasoning we shove
mrpaddyx
Yeah, i'm pretty much in agreement with what everyone is saying here, below is what happenend. I didconsider folding due to the raise and reraise but there was not way I could find a way of folding (unless I was on the buble, and it wasn't even close). I think I am just over thinking it considering the cards that my opponents hand, and what happened is the only logical thing that could have happened.

mrpaddyx: raises 2740 to 3940 and is all-in
myessmyess: raises 985 to 4925 and is all-in
Schlitzohr22: calls 3725

You have 13 BBs plus antes are in play. Your M is under 5. You hold the 3rd best starting hand in NLHE.

No wonder the good players don't post in FCP strat anymore.

Erm cheers, i think. icon_frown.gif

I only considered it for about 10 seconds, I can't see myself ever folding here. This thread woudn't have existed if I the other 2 hadn't caught Aces and Kings (and yeah I know BBFIDTS).

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL Plzzzzzzzz don't be serious when you say its pretty close. NO NOT CLOSE AT ALL

IT IS A 4.40...you have QQ, I could be 40bbs deep, I'm finding a way to get it in. No questions asked

Ok, I'm giong to take a more serious approach to this hand, mrpaddy:

Alright, even though you just got moved to the table, assume everyone sucks...just like, everyone is horrible.

when the raise happens his range can be, A9s+, JTs+, prolly 66+, and KTo+ (with some Q9 and other hands). Now the 3bet is prolly going to be a little more narrower (like, ATo, 88+, KJ+).

Now your destroying the pair almost like, all of the time. But there is also a good chance on both of them having like AK or something where then it isn't a flip anymore.

Never try to find a reason to fold QQ unless you are ubber deep and the action is like 5bet or something

Shove shove shove !!! it's a 4.40. I've seen situations like this where people show down A5 and AJ or even worse.

In a tourney even with 50BB's I'm prob looking to get it in here unless I have an INSANE read. Side game obv I might play a bit different dep on the situation, might not depending on the player, but that's a whole other animal.
