  2. Do you have any read at all? If you can put him on exactly AA or KK then I would fold, but I am not good enough to do that. I am calling the raise and see what hits on flop
  3. The problem is that he is already putting almost half of his stack w/ that raise. I really think AK would push there, not reraise and leave something behind.

  4. Your at 20/40 blinds early in a well-structured tournament. Fold and move on, no reason to put it on the line in the first half of the first hour.
     
  5. The only hand u really worry about is KK here.. AA isn't usually played like that. Either way tough decision but I have seen this play made with 1010 and obv so wtf when I fold etc.
  6. 1st off....realize who your opponent is, and know you should never fack with a Paki....
    2nd...pat yourself on your back for a nice laydown. (I should have pushed!!! :) )

    GG
