I was 7 handed in a $10 tournament last night, top 4 got paid.
I was in middle position, right next to the cut-off. I had AA, and I raised to 3.5 times big blind. The small blind only had 3 BBs left so they called all in, and the big blind flatted the raise. The big blind had a similar stack size to me. I was in 4th, he was in 5th at the time.
The flop was 2 6 7 rainbow. I bet around 3/4 pot on the flop, and the big blind called.
The turn was another 7. The big blind open shoves the turn for close to 4 times the pot. I thought for a while, and ended up folding. Every time I call this type of shove I seem to see a 7 or a full house almost always. Best case scenario is I see like jacks or queens, which I beat, but this usually doesn't seem to be the case from my experience. Anyway, in this instance, since the small blind was all in, I see the big blind turn over 56 off suit for second pair on the flop.... I have no idea if his shove was a bluff or if he thought he really had the best hand, but it seems like an insane shove to me. It got me to fold aces, which made me livid, and probably even more so because I ended up bubbling the tourney in 5th. .
Was this the correct fold with aces, or should I have sucked it up and made the call?
