If you were deepstacked you could make the tough(but correct) fold here. You do not have the chips to wait for a better situation. As it is, you make the call hoping no one has AA.

I think that you are almost always up against AA or KK in a open, raise, and reraise situation.

**Dr Fill Good** · 02-19-2009 04:06 AM

There is enough chips in there to mathematically commit you against KK. The only hand you are not mathematically committed to call against is AA, and their is a chance(slim as it may be) that you are not dominated. If you had 2400+ here, I heartily support a fold. Here, call is the play IMO

Interesting spot for sure. In fact, it reminds me of a somehwat similar controversial situation that I was involved in:

The player who over-shoved is the one you really have to be worried about imo. (Min-raise UTG is really weak, original shover might know this and shove with a marginal hand.) He's risking his stack in fairly M/EP, so I would put his range on TT+ or AQ+. I wasn't there to see how he had been playing though.

That being said, I think this is a must call for you in this situation. You don't have a big enough stack to wait for something much better than this.

Insta call due to stack size...what hand r u waiting for if you're gonna fold there. Yeah, they look like they could have monsters, but could be an isolation play with a weaker pair than kk IMO by King (qq, JJ, aq maybe). Just like Scott's situation, arguments could be made for both calling/folding if you had a larger stack. Great post.
