FTP $24 - overcall with AA on a dangerous flop?

[RexWoo]

Well what do we know :

* BB is allin with any 2
* UTG has a piece of the flop

Turbo push.

But are we really a favorite to win given that we have no re-draws besides a backdoor straight? I am kind of doubting that. I see a straight draw, a flush draw and a possible 2 pair (JQ on board) that people love to limp with. I am not sure that a push is so clear cut here. I did end up folding here, btw [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

First off, I think I like a little bigger raise pre-flop. With one limper in already, I like to raise 5 or 6 times the BB with these premium hands. I'd be glad to take down the 150 chips right there, and don't want to see more than one opponent. As played, I would push here also. BB could have any two, and AQ or KK are highly likely for UTG. I like my chances against either of those hands. If he has a flush draw and draws out, then so be it. You got your chips in with the best of it.

I am never "glad" about taking down 150 chips preflop with AA in any SNG, let alone a turbo. I'd rather have callers and get stacked sometimes. Or lots of times, lately.

I'm sort of with you here--I don't think we're ahead by that much. I think we're ahead most of the time at the moment, but not by much for the reasons you stated above--two pairs, flush and straight draws. Best case scenario you're dominating BB's smaller pp and UTG has a flush draw. I think the shove is the right decision, because if you win you're pretty much set (you're ahead right now in all likelihood) to make the money, but I do agree that it's not a clear cut deccision.
