Pocket AA early...push on not - Page 2

I agree, the push was fine. I think the only hand that is gonna call you is one that beats you applies in many situations, but not this one. Esp if someone had ak or aq.

I was in a $2.00 buy in on Absolute when the following occured.

Two limpers around to me in the BB with pocket AA. I raise 5xbb. Get one caller. The flop comes KQ4 rainbow so I shove with my last 1000 and get called (he covers me).

Someone makes the comment that my all in was stupid because.."only a hand that beats you would call." I don't believe this to be the case (especially at this level).

Dissagree, AQ,AK, and the odd KJ, KT, JQ, smaller pairs, open enders all will call in the lower limits... You still have value here, you played it fine.
