All questions are related to 3 conditions. One at EARLY PHASE, second at MIDDLE LATE PHASE, and third at FINAL TABLE....

I would love to know how many number of allins or re-raises{consider more than 75% of ur stack} infront of your position would it take for u to fold the following hands PRE-FLOP in these 3 situations...

HAND----------------EARLY PHASE--MIDDLE PHASE--FINAL TABLE

1.)AK suited----------------?--------------------?------------------?
2.)AK offsuit----------------?--------------------?------------------?
3.)AQ suited----------------?--------------------?------------------?
4.)AQ offsuit----------------?--------------------?------------------?
5.)AJ suited-----------------?--------------------?------------------?
6.)AJ offsuit-----------------?--------------------?------------------?
7.)AT suited-----------------?--------------------?------------------?

12.)TT----------------------?--------------------?------------------?
13.)99 to 66----------------?--------------------?------------------?
14.)55 to 22----------------?--------------------?------------------?

Just copy paste this table in ur reply post and fill in the numbers.That all...

A lot depend on buy'in, if it's a freeroll or small buyin, players will raise and reraise with a lot less. I am assuming you mean for a tournament with a significant buy-in.


1.)AK suited-----------1 (I'm not going all in early)2(only heads up) 1
2.)AK offsuit------------same
3.)AQ suited------------same
4.)AQ offsuit------------same 1or2 (depends on my stack)
5.)AJ suited-------------same
6.)AJ offsuit------------same 4-8 (all depend on my stack, if I'm
7.)AT suited------------same short, prob. take a shot against
8.)AT offsuit------------same 1 ot 2 others, otherwise fold)
9.)KK--------------------3-----------------2 or 3 (stack again) 2 10.)QQ-------------------3------------------2----------------2
11.)JJ--------------------2------------------2----------------1or2
12.)TT-------------------1-------------------1(unless short)----1
13.)99 to 66--------------1-----------------1--------------1
14.)55 to 22-------------1 1 1

Of course, my stack and size of blinds is really what would be a big consideration. If I only had a 2-5 blinds left, I'd go allin with a middle pair even with a couple allins, hopin they both have an A to cancet each other out a little. But I answered best I could.

This is Y=yes and n=no whether or not I call for 1 raise, all reraises get folded exceptAA and KK which goes allin, QQ will
fold in middle game and just call early and final table. All rest fold. All these choices Raise in 1st position or in position.

1. AGAINST mR allin I call with 10s or better 12 and up on your chart early and final table but not middle. Someone who goes allin alot to raise chips.

2. If a raise then a reraise before me, allin with QQ or better fold the rest and move up the ladder.

3. If I get to raise 1st then 75% of my stack with #13 and above on your list in middle and end game, esp near the money.

4. as always know your opponents buy and read some books lol.
5. Trust your instincts. Your 1st impression is normally correct, then the deceptions and alternatives arrive later.

6. Aggressiveness pays off 75% of the time, but you can't be aggressive with an allin shortstacked or calling a big raise especially a reraise, then fold everything but AA.

7. ASK YOUR MOMMY.

8. always try to steal blinds, almost always fold under a reraise, reraise a bluffer if stealin alot.

9. pick your time, play 22 if shortstacked and near your BB.

10. pocket pairs JJ or better call someone who plays every hand and fold to the tight player all hands except AA KK/

11. circumstances like these and many others dictate whether you call with even AA if 2 of them are allin anyway, if the whole table goes allin at final table and you have AA you may just fold and let it be one on one.

12. Only the Master can fold AA, so don't do it!! Raise allin to protect it!!

13.be the raiser, not the caller. now go get a book!

Yosemite Sam says," Just SHOOT DEM VARMITS!" So with that in mind I change all my answers.

There's more to poker than what you hold--Annette15 proved this at UB by winning a tournament without looking at her cards (she put a post-it note over the area on her screen where her cards were).

So "important"--not as much as you think.

Not sure thats really relevant in this question as it is regarding an allin situation with 1 or more players, hence a showdown will occur making the cards extremely important.
