PokerStars tournament. It has been going on just shy of an hour, blinds are 50/100. The Button and SB have above average stacks, the BB has about 2.5 the average stack. The SB has blown All-In preflop 2 or 3 times in the last 5 or 6 hands.
It folds to button who limps in for 100. The SB blows All-In. The BB calls his All-In. The Button thinks for a bit and calls the All-In leaving him with about 400. The flop comes up as pure rags, the BB bets to put the Button All-In and the button calls.
The SB (the orginal All-In) flips:  
The BB flips:  
and the button flips:  
if you have an above average stack and very little invested in a pot, would you call an All-In and a caller to that All-In (when that represents just about all of your stack) with an A6? And what I really want to know is, where are these people when I have bullets in the BB?
The Jacks held up and the BB walked away with quite a stack. |

I will call two players all in with A6...
if I have somewhere else I need to be.
A6 is a marginal hand, it's definitely not a hand you go around calling all-ins with. |

fish are silly.
Ace-6 unsuited is statistically the 47th best starting hand man. those jacks were in trouble |

ehh, ace 6 isn't so bad as you'd think. its worse than any pocket pair, and any ace + better kicker. that's... 13, plus 7. so, there are 20 hands better than ace 6.
the logic behind it is that its somewhat likely that if the small blind has been pushing a lot recently, he doesn't have an ace. and if he doesn't have an ace and the bb has a big enough stack its worth a call. |

The fact that this is an offsuit, easily dominated hand, makes me not want to play it. The fact that two other people are all-in ahead of me, make it so I can not get rid of this hand fast enough. Heads up against a guy who is pushing, maybe...
I'm not going to put my money on two guys neither having an ace and neither one of them making a pair that beats my A high. |
