Im torn between an all in and a pot sized bet. I voted for pot sized, but after reconsidering I think all in is the best.

If it was me.. I would probably bet the pot or all in… then some a$$ would have A/5 os and I’d be gone. Or it goes these days. LOL

I think all in is too much risk without reward. If someone has trips or a higher two pair they will call. Everything else will fold.

your image works to your advantage here. they can put you on ace 2 through 8 here. any ace ten or better will give you action. youre looking for ace q or better to call the all in though. its a judgement call. not to mention you have enough chips to scare everything off not making you anything, and in the case you are up against something like a set, or a donkey on ace 5 youre giving away a lot. the RRR may not be in line for this move.

I disagree with pushing all-in.

Players A&B limped in early position, so it’s very likely they hold weak aces, like A5 or A6 (giving them two pair), since those are typical early position calling hands in a sev handed table. I would be, however, more worred about Player B then A for sure.

you either call or go all in, with your table image everyone is going to call a raise. and with 2 people ahead of you an all in is to risky, so you call and try to get more info out of them on the turn.
