Hi You All

Was this a correct call? Would you do the same?

In the game I didn't think too much and I just called considering my big stack advantage. Should I tho call after the all-in was called by other player (also with shorter to my stack). After analyzing this hand I am almost sure I shouldn't have call this. What would be your action here?

Thanks for sharing your experience and poker wisdom.

Hello Ichnusa1,

When reviewing this hand I believe that your call was really quite complicated, since you had 3530 chips, there you call for 845 chips, leaving 2836 chips behind, checking all your other chips, so I believe the best thing To do would be to fold, even with AJ, since the other player called and there would be more hand folds.
Your call was not all bad, but I believe that in your case I would fold.

Still worth it !!!

I'm rejamming here. Your opponent either has a weak calling hand such as 55/KJ or a nutted hand, and it's still possible your opponent jams a nutted hand rather than flatting.

Pretty standard play there. Shorty with 88 has to shove on the button, SB might have shoved, but I see his thinking, and you made what I think was a proper call. You were getting pretty good odds with a pretty good hand. Once you didn't bet the flop, SB felt u didn't have a K, and shoved just to get you out of the pot.

Good fold, on a standard hand.

There are a lot of folks who would say re-shoving pre is the proper play. I am not one of them. With AJ, you're only gonna get called by a better hand. There is no need for it. You, being last to act, have the luxury of seeing a valuable flop, reasonably cheap. Be satisfied with that in these situations.

If you hit the flop big, THEN you get to continue.

IMHO, you did everything right.

Its not a Bad Decision to call with AJo in that spot considering situation
you had both of them covered and also decent odds to make a call & expect to see a good flop and can easily find a fold if we missed flop

I think Dj11 explained it well

The SB player may have just called with a small pair or KQ, KJ type hand that he doesn't want to risk all his chips with.. Or maybe he's trapping. Depends on the player, really. Some players just never do anything more than call, especially the peculiar micro MTT players.

I also agree with what has been said, except for the over-shove. You could of folded and saved the chips for a future spot, or the call to see the flop like you did. Once you missed and faced another all-in by the SB, then its an easy fold. You did good.

I am shoving preflop, sometimes folding too depending on your opponents but I understand the call you are getting a good price to see flop and you have position on sb.

if sb calls the bet i think you should either fold or go all in. i think sb plays the hand very wrong. he commited a big porcentage of his stack with pocket queens and after a king came on the flop he makes a weak check showing lots of weakness. if you shove all in on the flop instead of checking i think sb would have probably fold the hand. however you would still lose to pocket eights. because you are commiting lot of your stack by calling just like sb you should either fold or shove all in and in this case i think folding is the right choice. with aq its a tough choice but i think i would shove all in with aq ak, 99 or a better pair, aj ,a10 or kq is a tough decision however calling is never a good hand in this scenario with any hand except maybe with pocket aces but even with aces is best to just shove all in.

i think i might disagree with alot that is being said

i can see the logic "we have a huge stack advantage, with a strong hand"
but we should not be calling 6bb raises 3way in my oppinion

my personal reasoning is, if we miss like we did, we have given our opponent the 12bb instead of him only getting 6, and as things stand we have a huge chip advantage, as a result have no real reason to get into a race where we are not favoured vastly

if the villain loses the hand then the original shover doubles up and you have 3.5k chips, and the caller would of fell to 1.7k chips

if as played villan wins you see he now holds 4.4k chips, is chip leader
if you hadnt called, villain wins the hand but you both end with a 3.5k chip lead, leaving you a healthy stack to take him heads up.

it just seems too early in the STT to be putting your eggs into an AJ race.
