AA poll

wizard · #1 04-20-2006, 02:33 PM

You have just begun the televised portion of a small nl tounament. You are short with 70K and have to post the BB of 10k, 1st hand of the 30 minute round. The average stack is 150,000. One of the best players at the table - sound but tricky from cutoff makes it 30K to go from his stack of 175,000 and all fold to you. When you peek, you find the Minor Suit Aces. Now what? Push, trap or stop and go or something else? Explinations of your poll choice are encouraged.

You should really be folding this. Everyone knows that they only put the final 6 on tv and if you bust out here, grandma won't get to see us on tv.

Had to go a couple times after the first arrest. It isnt a fun thing to go through.

Since I would push or fold with any hand but AA/KK I think I can't call with AA/KK either.

Of course if he knows that I know that he knows that I think that ...

Anyway I push.

Think for a minute, count your chips twice, ask how much the other guy has, think for another minute...and then say "All In."

I like to look at my hole cards... yell "YES!!!! ALL IN BABY!!!" and quickly push the chips as soon as possible and jump out of your chair. It would be good TV if nothing else.

You forgot to sigh, look tormented, start to fold, recap your cards, then push.

A lot of places your hand can be declared dead (a friend of mine moved his nut straight hand towards the muck then pulled it back only to have it declared dead).

You should instead start to pick your nose, look right at the TV camera, then sit on your hand (but not your thumb).

You forgot to take out your neon "I have AA" sign and plug it in and wear it as a hat.
