$27- Short-stack with KK on bubble- All-in and called in front

MATT238 · #1 11-08-2007, 05:11 PM

UTG shove is from a regular, likely shoving most hands, no reads on big stack. With the short-stack being covered and called, what's my play? Assuming you call KK in this spot, do you fold QQ? AKs?

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t400 with t25 antes (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t1800)
Button (t5620)
Hero (t1405)
BB (t4675)

Preflop: Hero is in SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="red">CO raises to t1775 (All-in)</font>, Button calls t1775

I fold AK and prolly call QQ.
Strange that biggie only called tho.
Can't fold Kings here ever.

Calling QQ+ here too.

Often times bad players call with huge hands here...readless, I'd fold JJ, AK. If CO reshoves, it almost makes me more likely to call with AKs.

AK is such an easy muck here...

I agree with folding AK. I did call with the KK, and would call with QQ as well, but mucking JJ and AK. Thanks for the replies.

Why do we muck AK? Isn't it way ahead of villian's range + dead money in the pot? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm new to SNGs.

i'm in the QQ+ camp.

AK is a really overrated bubble calling hand in a lot of situations. i dont feel like running sngwiz right now but i would imagine calling with AK would be awful in this spot.

If you lose to either one you're out, AK doesnt have that great of equity in a 3 way pot.

I call QQ+ as well, as well as MUCH more likely to call with JJ than AK

Wiz says that even if CO pushed ATC and button called ATC, it's a terrible call.
