Really depends on your reads. Normally you'd expect atleast one of them to have AA/KK/QQ/AK. But if they've played like idiots before, you could think about a little gamble. "Standard" I'd fold this, but I've seen so many of these things end up as A4 vs K7 or 33 vs 88..
(and with a bigger BR I'd probably gamble these more often) |

Yeah with QQ I'd push this. You're only dominated by AA/KK now, cointoss vs AK, and you upgrade from cointoss to domination on two more hands that these kinds of guys get major confidence from: AQ KQ.
My general rule of thumb is AA/KK if they've been camping all day, doing nothing, and then throw an all-in, AA/KK/QQ/AK vs the more frequent pushers. Not that you can't play TT, but I like the better odds here.
For reference in a 3-way QQ vs AJ vs KQ you got 44.5% to take the pot with your QQ.
(with KK here you'd have 49.5%, with AA 62%.. but yeah, AA is ofcourse the granddaddy of all starting hands) |

Just in. Got AJ. Raise 3BB. $2.5 guy throws himself all-in. Ok let's see it. KJ. Easy money. Hm, sat down with $6, stepped out 20 mins later with $13.50. I'm really bracing myself for downswings now..
(I even managed to make $2 off of a pure uncut bluff.. threw a lot of money on the table on the turn, he had to think hard before he folded, so he probably folded the better hand to my A high.. there were two 8s on the table after the turn, and he didn't have em, so I figured he might be afraid I did and gambled.. I also had the intimidation factor due to winning before, and I had seen him fold a lesser hand in the past) |

Most important question: How big are their stacks? If small, push. If large enough, call for a set.
Whenever someone makes a raise, one of the firsts thing you should do is look at the size of their stack. So, post stack sizes next time please! |
