$1.08 NL HE MTT: A7s in BU

mariussica88 · Feb 2, 2025

This is a $1.08 Bounty Tournament at GGPoker, we are are the beginning of the tournament and I don't have much info on the players.

What I'm curios here is do calling the shove from UT2 makes sense? Or folding is ok?

I did fold the hand since the SB could easily can go all in, also the UTG2 shove makes his range really strong. But also at this stakes people do crazy things.

They could easily have a better hand (maybe AQ/AKs?) judging by the bounty builder tournament and that they're the 2nd shortest stack at the table. Don't think they'd risk their tournament life with cards like A5s/KTs or lower. Not to forget SB called your 3-bet raise too! 👀

Definitely makes them look really strong, could have strong pocket pairs there, too.

I agree with your thoughts, you played it like I would have!

And true, these are low stakes bounty hunters after all, unpredictable a lot of times 😅

Overall, I believe you made the right decision to fold 7As.

As it's early and not much info on players involved:
