Some people might say you should fold blah blah blah. When 2 people go all in that tells me that they both have AK, AQ, AJ, face cards. If they have the same cards, they are less likely to hit their top pair. You already have a made hand.
Ummm... you're crazy. If two people go all in ahead of me in a cash game (not a tournament), I assume one of them, if not both, has jacks or better. I don't just assume it, I know it's true like 90% of the time. It's very rare that you see two people all in pre-flop and neither of them has a hand better than pocket nines (or worse, pocket sixes). I think your approach is just begging to throw money away.

I think mr average reraised to get you out of the hand. I doubt he had pocket.
Nope, he had queens. The nice thing about Shorty going all-in was that this went to showdown and I got to analyze the hand more completely after the fact.
