I insta-fold. You haven't invested that much in the pot. You are likely facing 4 overs. If you are LUCKY then they have one card covered and you are only facing 3 overs. You have a lot of chips and can find a better spot.

Sigh fold ftw!:)

It is a fold and not even close.

You have too many chips to be calling off 1/2 your stack there in the hope they are counterfitting each other and neither has an over pair.

If you had less chips, like ~15BB or so, it is a shove.

I know most of the people who responded here today and I agree that it is a qiick fold i am the guy who snapped called with pocket 44 I put the utg on a pair of 66 77 88 maybe AJ AQ and hoped by snap calling the all-in he would fold As for the other guy, he had could have any two face cards and I thought it was a flip He ended up with KJ off and I won the pot The other guy typed he had 1010 and would of won the pot Today's question was it worth the gamble to try such as a play or is that a flaw in my game

PS Pocket 10 guy finished third, I won

re the UTG raiser, you can't realistically put him on 66/77/88, AJ or AQ, you can only put him on 66+ / AJ+. Use hand ranges for preflop decisions rather than actual hands.

Isolating with 44 is hardly ever +ev, especially when it costs 1/2 your stack.

I think your ranges you put them on was what you hoped they were on, but you convinced yourself it was rationally thought out so you could justify the play you wanted to make.

I agree. I have a tendance of playing "what do I beat, oh they must have that".

Given the ranges of hands most players reraise and shove with, 1010 most of the time doesn't play well.

The call with 44 is absolutely a horribad spew. If UTG comes along or goes over the top, you've probably just spewed away your tournament. You got your chips in the middle in a coin flip and managed to hold on, which over a larger sample size is going to be -EV given the range of hands our opponents will be making these plays with.
