Hi,

I want to get some opinions in for this hand.

Multi table turnament (6-handed).

Aproaching bubble.

Tables were re-drawn, this is Heores 2nd hand with this players.

UTG - fold
HJ - all in with 13BB
CO - calls 13 BB (starts hand with 33BB)
D- folds
SB (HERO) - AKo (41 BB)
BB - (50BB)

What does HERO do????

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

IMHO

You are approaching the bubble and with 41BB you are in pretty good shape.... AKo is a good hand, but it is not a made hand and you will need something on the flop to make it worthwhile!

Chances are that one of the villains has a pair and in a straight fight AKo v any pair, you will lose marginally more than you win! However, in a 3 way situation you might be up against a pair and Ax or Kx giving you only 5 outs.

Someone can probably do the maths about pots odds etc etc, but my gut feel would be to fold and wait for a better spot!

Cheers,

Jass

Ok ran it through PokerStove

Put the short stack on any Ax, Any Pair, Broadway cards & high suited connectors.

Put the caller on Broadway cards and any pair from 77 upwards.

You are AKo obviously!!

Odds are 26%, 34%, 40% - is it worth put in the chips for 40% equity that close to the bubble? - I would suggest not,

Cheers,

Jass

Pre Flop: (pot: 5,750) Hero has K♦ A♠

Hero raises to 12,378 and is all-in, fold, fold, fold, CO raises to 52,155 and is all-in, fold, fold, fold

Flop: (30,506, 2 players) 7♦ J♥ 2♠

Turn: (30,506, 2 players) 7♥

River: (30,506, 2 players) A♦

Spoiler

Hero shows K♦ A♠ (Two Pair, Aces and Sevens) (Pre 45%, Flop 26%, Turn 20%)
CO shows 6♣ 6♥ (Two Pair, Sevens and Sixes) (Pre 55%, Flop 74%, Turn 80%)
Hero wins 30,506

And went out straight after the bubble - you guessed it - 99 v AKs v A6o flop A.

PokerStove says I was 52.5% favourite... lol
