What kinds of hands were these guys showing down? They could have been "betting like crazy" with pocket pairs. Need more info on your reads.

has the original raiser done this more than once or twice recently, and what has he shown. if he's shown he'll push with JJ or worse or AQ or worse than its a call. i'd definately put the guy who limp called on a pair 66-99, so if you think you're ahead of tcom id call this down. and if he's pushing like you say he is than QQ is definately ahead of his range.

maxim just joined the table four hands ago and has seen one flop so far so dont have any reads on him, tcom has been donating money and just couple hands ago called a persons 14 all in bet with pocket 10 9 offsuit and nine on the board, he has lost around $40 on bad betting in the past few hands so pretty much put him on anything....low pair, A with high kicker is what i was thinkin

OK. Good stuff.

Even though "Tcom" seems like a really bad player, your lack of a read on "Maximus" should have you hitting the brakes here. His limp-push UTG is either a smartly played trap OR a haphazard shot in the dark. I don't think it is worth it to find out which one it is. One of them could have AQ or KQ, which would hinder your chance of improvement if the other has AA or KK. Maybe I'm being weak-tight, but the lack of a read in a multiway pot always has me backing off.

Im sorry, fold Qs when you know the table is a major donk fest? AQ or KQ does not guarentee a winner. How many times have you seen AK busted by a small pair. Those hands are not god hands. You have only two pairs higher than yours and if the tables is as loose as it was that was a good call.
Nice call and enjoy the win.

Yeah, I totally agree with BBB here. To not call at this type of table would be completely weak-tight in my opinion. With what you described, it sounds like these guys are pushing with any Ace/Face card or god-forbid, "sooooted" cards. I'd be calling so fast your head would spin. :p

I thought "Maximus" joined just 4 hands ago and Brutus had no reads.

This is an easy call. I'd probably call at a tight table, so even better at a loose one. You're getting 2:1 on your money, so you only need a 33% chance of winning. If one has AK it doesn't matter because you're getting such good odds, and you'd be the favourite anyway. If both have AK, even better since they're less likely to pair. If one has AK, it means the other is less likely to have AA or KK.

Plus no-one in their right mind would go all-in with AA or KK after just one raise. More likely they have TT or JJ.
