2nd or 3rd hand of the tourney. Could I be ahead of both the all-in hands?
(I know, pf raise was too little)

I think you're behind here. Of course, the times that they flip AQ and AJ you feel like a dummy, but AT, TT, and 88 are within their ranges here. I fold.

at an $11 I'm calling here. I think 1/3 of the time someone has a set and the rest you're up against a flush draw or middle pair and a weaker ace. I love your runner-runner draws too, gambooool!

Also, your pf raise is fine, you dont need to knock out the A8 type hands that will happily call off their stack if an A hits.

yeah I would fold here for sure. I would get it allin against 1 player but when UTG calls allin after a raise from you and a c/r from sb I really dont see you being ahead here enough to call.

Thanks for the responses. I was going to call 1 player, but I figured I'm behind more often than not after c/r & call. I ended up folding this hand and both of them had weak Aces. At least there are worse players than me out there [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

UTG's call tells you all you need to know. This looks like an EZ fold, even at an $11.

hmm it's a tough one, but I think I would call here. Remember that you have the A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], so that boosts your chances to win.

On this heavy a drawing board, I think I'd grit my teeth and call, as at least one of them I could definitely see having a flush/straight/both (J9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], or whatever) draw, and the other AQ/AJ. It's really close though. A fold isn't terrible.
