shocks me. it's really not that hard. it's just a drawing hand lol ffs.
Dag Martin Mikkelsen Eliminated in 42nd Place ($237,865)
Preflop, Dag Martin Mikkelsen raises to 150,000 in the cutoff and David Tran reraises to 500,000 on the button. Mikkelsen three-bets all in for 2,600,000 with A-K and Tran calls with A-A. Mikkelsen is out and Tran is up to 8,400,000.
bb was 50k. could have been a re-steal... but come on.... he prob has a pair and you're fliping or a big underdog.... maybe just call pre and at least see a flop? no - raises all in. i don't get it... he had over 60 x bb and was in the top 10 in chips.
seen countless other HH's where people play it like it's aces. if you have a low stack then fine....

I agree, I layed down AK last week at the final table at Binions, and I even showed it (I wanted to give an image of being very tight as well), and you should of heard the gasps.
I was in the BB, and the UTG (who was 2nd in chips) raised it up to half my stack (I wasn't short stacked).
I knew if I played it would be for all my chips, so I layed it down.
Good thing, because the UTG shocked that I layed it down (and showed it), turned over AA.
