Daily Hand Quiz

Fold the AJ, fold it, then fold it again. Unless youre desperate theres no need to play with it in this situation.

Also, I probably just would have called and not tried to isolate. Im definately folding to a shove so why waste more than is needed. I know that increases the temptation for one of the blinds to shove, but I could just as easily be holding a monster, trying to tempt a shove. If the shove comes, im folding so I think calling is ok.

Easy fold. One of those times when you just know you’re behind. Dump it, keep your chip lead and live happily ever after..

Fold. You are getting 2 to 1, but you are almost a never a favorite with AJ. Plus you’ll get to see the BB’s hand anyways since the pot is protected.

Well said 5types, I agree I’d much rather limp in this spot. For 2 reasons, 1) it’s a protected pot and 2) the small blind has a huge chip stack.

Min raising the initial all-in player said that you wanted to get heads up but did not want to get re-raised. Bad move, you are NOT providing protection, but inviting a shove behind you. You can not call the all-in without AA or KK. Better to have either called or shoved. Calling lets you get away very easily, shoving provides best potential for getting headsup and puts others on notice that they now have a big decision.

AJ off is too big of a hand not to have really bet re-raised, but now with the all-in move it is way too small to hold up against two players.

I call AQ+, 99+

Oh, and, the min iso is fine, there’s a huge stack behind him so anything else is dumb unless you are rising to like 400k and calling a shove from BB which has the same result anyway.

A thing some donks failed to mention is the huge advantage over the field a good, aggressive solid pro has w/ just about 4 tables left in a normal Sunday Million.

That turns an easy call with odds into possibly a close fold.

one more thing

AQ+, TT+ is way too tight, you are min isoing a lottttt here against a guy w/ 1.5 BBs.

55, 66, A8s, etc.

AJ+, 88+ for a good player in the BB

A more aggressive player might be ATs+, AJo+, 77+, which is also fine imo

i don’t understand the fact that everybody’s arguing for fold here… why in god’s name are you putting this guy on JJ/AQ+… that’s a very slim range here imo — this guy’s got less than 10 M and is capable of pushing with less than that, i don’t really care if this is the sunday million or not

if you win this you’ve got over 7mil and an extremely good shot at a final table finish

win or lose = you’re still here
win = neither of the others are still here
ball up and call gentlemen

I’d consider a call if no one else called the all in. But the fact that there are two shoves to me indicates unnessecary risk. One or both of them will have a better starting hand than ajax. Calling here is just giving them more wiggle room when one of them beats you. You have a pretty solid lead on most of the table, theres no reason to risk it against two likely big hands. Seems like a gamble where you’d be a big dog. I’d be even tighter on this call AA or KK only. Because, as the staff mentioned, neither of the other players is low enough in chips to be desperate, so even if the BB is making a semi-bluff to protect his blinds there is really no chance that the caller is going to risk the all i with a weak hand, being the second shortstack
