    anyone any thoughts on , when you are holding low pocket pairs, against two all ins before you in the action, in a tournament situation. I have had that twice tonight, I folded both, though they would have held up , thats besides the point. Is it worth the call in the hope that the two hands clash or am i talking bollix at this unearthly hour

    Play the hand if you have a good stack and the other two are short stacked and hence the all in. You have a chance to knock both out of the game and treble up whatever you have to put in......but make sure that you are last to act or the player next isnt very agressive cos you dont want a reraise!!!

    Thats how i'd play it!! ;)
    But i could be talkin bollix to at this early hour :rolleyes: ...damn work

    sound like a good way to waste a big stack and triple someone up, to me

    Fold to 2 All-In's!

    Think about it if it's just one All-In.

    two isn't always worse than 1. Fold to both unless you feel like tossing a coin. I never understand people who call an all-in with 66-22 and then complain when they lose, how far ahead did you think you were??

    edited for clarification: If i still have over 20BBs left after calling I might consider calling here with 66-55.
