I have problems with Middle Pairs and don't ususally play them but wanted to see what you guys thought of this...
It's very early in a tournament - we all started with 1500 chips and almost 3000 players start. We have only played 6-8 hands and I'm in late possition (2 off the button).... UTG raises to 150 (all-in) and then another player in middle possition raises to 350.... I've got 1440 chips with pocket 7's and decide to fold... UTG had K10 and the middle pos player had AA
The flop comes out 3-7-6 turn=5 river=3 ... I would have had a Full House.
My thinking... The UTG was going to go all in and try with any 2 cards (desperate) but when the middle player bet 350 when the binds are 30/60 - I'm thinking AA or KK or QQ and wanted to get rid of the rest of the field (It worked)
Bad choice for me to fold but I think it was the right decision...
