Interesting Satellite hand...Aces Pre-flop Revisited

Benglian

So, it is a Stars MTT re-buy satellite to one of thier WCOOP events.
Around 200 entrants, and we are nearly four hours in, and ON the bubble. There are 19 tickets available and 20 players left.
It is a pot limit HE event,I have approx 50,000 chips in UTG +1, and have been raising EVERY hand for the last 3 orbits, stealing a humoungous amount of the 600/1200 blinds, getting called 3 times with random hands, knocking two players out and doubling one guy up.
If someone raises before me I re-raise them, and they mostly fold.
Things are helped by the other big stacks at the table 'sitting out' so I don't have to tangle with them.

This is the hand.

UTG with approx 10,000 chips min raises to 2,400, and I of course re-raise the full amount, nearly setting him in if he should call.

Now, if he folds he still has 7,000 plus chips and is in the blinds next hand. Of the remaining 19 players there are about 6 with a smaller chip stack than this...and two who cannot pay another round of blinds.

The question is should he call my re-raise, even if he has AA....?

I say no.

He should not call, he should fold and wait for the bubble to burst.



Edited to remove the stupid PL NLHE error!

He should fold.

But why are you still active with your stack? Go have a cup of tea.

If he calls with AA then at least four times out of five he practically guarantees himself a ticket. If he folds, is he guaranteed a ticket better than 80% of the time? He probably is in this case, so it does look like a fold.

But this idiot doesn't deserve a ticket... min-raising when there's a serial raiser at the table who will put you all-in? Idiot.

He should have folded any hand OOP to the Aggressive player until one of the shorter stacks was knocked out.

What did you have?

What did I have?

The monster that is 23o....

He called, I flopped 2 pair, no change in the board, and he was out on the bubble.

My only regret was that all the tables closed immediately as the tourney was over, and I didn't get a chance to gloat in the chat....

And lafortezza, I know the cup of tea is a viable option but someone has to do something....all the other big stacks WERE sitting out...so someone needs to put pressure on the shorties and if i ever got in danger of an allin leaving me medium stacked then i wouldn't go into it...

Those who know me can confirm that yes, I am indeed.
Though more so on the golf course than at the poker table.....
How I manage to get around the course sometimes without a club round the back of the head, is a testament to the deep-breath-count-to-ten zen-like abilities of my poor abused playing partners....
