Maybe I am just too committed to my AA's but I don't see myself folding here. I am not a world class player or pro, more like a fish. I know you may be worried about trips or a flush draw, but i don't see why you don't go on with your hand here.

Easy fold.


The key of tournament play is lasting. The blinds are 15/30 .... he has PLENTY of time to work up his stack. It would be stupid of him to go all-in with one pair.


The guy flat-called. Unless you got a read on this guy ... he isn't going to raise all in after the flop but with a limited number of hands. Likely he could do this with KK or QQ (anything lower, wouldn't count on it) .... BUT he may also do it with a set or 45 of spades (in which he would actually be a favor to win the pot).

it's early but any reads? you have plenty of chips left. i think it's a good fold. not so much because of bb, but there are still 3 left to act. unless they see you as really loose raising utg, a couple could have mid pairs that connected. would be some pretty random cards for a good straight draw. bb could be semi bluff with flush draw. pot is half his stack so if he caught a piece and wants to play might as well push. if either had a set i think they'd let you take the lead and reraise.

PAHud doesn't seem to pick up the daily double tournements, anyone know if there's a way to fix that btw? It was like the 7th hand of the tournement so nothing besides a lot of limping going on.
