The last thread reminded me of this hand not too long ago.
Live game $1-2 with a $5 bring in, 10 handed.
I'm sitting on weak AAxx with ~$900 late position. 5 limpers, it gets to me, I pot. BB reraises the pot. Early position goes all in, two callers, it gets back to me. That's a lot of money, but I know for a fact the button will only reraise aces. I have never seen him reraise anything else ever. So I assume my two outs for a set or out and I never had any shot at a nut flush or any decent straights. I actually fold because I don't think I have the equity.
This could be totally wrong, but just wondering what your thoughts are.
I mean the only shot I have with that many in the hand is for my danglers to hit big.
I don't think it's incorrect to fold the worst AAxx hands like AA83r or the like if you think you're running into a range of other AAxx & some other 4 live cards the other players behind are likely GII with, and even more so if you're super deep with your opponents. In this same situation with 100bb or less I just close my eyes and GII nothing to see here but deeper I think folding is not incorrect.
Okay good, I wasn't sure if it is ever good to fold aces pre, sounds like there are some arguments for when it is okay. I was super deep along with some of the others.
I did end up folding. Not to be results oriented, but the guy who I was sure had AAxx mucked at show down and some freak straight got the pot.
Is someone able to run a simulation with say 4 players, two with aaxx and the other two with just random cards? I'm curious as to equities.
