Should I have laid down Big Slick (preflop) to an all in.

    Early in a no limit tounement at a full table. I'm under the gun and see AK, I raise the $50 blind to $300. Player 2 calls and Player 3 goes all in. I call the all in as well as Player 2.

    Me: AK

    Player 2: QQ

    Player 3: 99

    The queens hold up and Player 3 triples up. Should I have laid down Big Slick (preflop) to the all in? I think its a better hand to 2 all ins vs. 1 because you have a 1:1 shot to hit your draw on a 3:1 pot. What are your thoughts?

    How much do they go all in for?

    According to twodimes:
    cards %win
    Ad Kh 36.28
    Qs Qc 45.87
    9s 9h 17.56

    But if either has AA or KK, thats a different story and you really have no way of knowing that they dont. Given that you know their hands your just about getting good odds to triple up... a bit too marginal for and early stage of the tournement imo. I would fold this and have made folds like this in the past.

    I dont like it, tbh. Considering the ranges that you're up against, you're probably less than 30% to win. It might be a call if the third player is good enough to do this with a weak hand, trying to knock both you and the caller out (cos it's hard for you to call with a player still to act, and the caller hasn't shown a lot of strength). Other than that, the all-in player has AA or KK a lot of the time, I'd say.

    Raising 6x the blinds UTG is the first problem.

    Folding is probably best, but calling is not terrible.

    I had the same sort of hand last night in the BSOP. On the button with AKo, MP raised all in, LP called for less, I grudgingly called (had them covered). AQo vs AKo vs AKo, split pot for AKo.

    Sometimes, you just throw it up to the poker gods and say to hell with it
