Hi there,
I was playing the steps on pokerstars towards the PCA 2014.
I'm at step 2, 5/9 players left (1&2 gets step 3 and 3&4 gets to do same step again) - blinds are 100/200. I'm at button where everyone folded to me, sitting with 3500 stack (2nd biggest) with AQs. I raise 2,5xbb, sb folds and bb goes all in with 2000 chips. I took his range into consideration and concluded that i was probably ahead, so I called, and he shows AJo. Board shows an Ace and a J.
Now, the hand isn't actually the part i want to discuss, since I know that i should've won that one but it's like 65:35.
The thing I was wondering about, is if I should've made that call, when I take into consideration that i'm risiking my big stack, with odds like 65:35, when I could just fold and let the other knock eachother out, while waiting for monsters like AA or KK
