[omg im l337]

I was willing to gamble that both of them had a high ace and I was playing for the win. Could I have played this any other way?

Welcome to the forums!

Don't put your opponents on an ace. Put them on a realistic range which in this case was something like 77+/AT+/KQ. You dominate that range and you should love to get all in against it.

I think your question is similar to: Do I call an all in with QQ when I know my opponent has AK and the answer is a resounding yes. You can not pass up edges like this if you want to win tournaments.

In the future you should not post results of your hands eithers.

IF you know your opponent has AK, it's pretty much a coin flip w. QQ. i think you got like.......56%? that's a guess. I would ahve simply called his RR and pushed on the flop. He'd be less likely to call it having hit nothing. Idk... I like to avoid coin flip situations when i can avoid them in tournament play.
