You are not out yet and Poker thun has raised to almost a third of your stack. You are best to just lay it down and wait for something with a little more weight to it. A-Q is such a hand that it (for me at least) is a death hand.

fold....odds are at least one of them has pp leaving you a coinflip at best

With the info I have, I'd say Fold.

If you don't, here are your two options.

1) Call and jonasof87 is more than likely coming over the top putting you all-in which will probably get PokerThun to call as well since he came over the top jonasof87. Meaning now your Ac-Qc has to beat two hands.

2) Call and then fold anyway when jonasof87 comes over the top which means you just gave up over a third of your stack on a fold.

It would be nice to know more details though. Like how many spot get paid?, what position are you in?, are you close to being at the chip average? It's hard to know how your chip stack is compared to the rest of the field. You have the 6th smallest stack of the 8 on your table. If you feel that in order to cash you have to make a move soon, then going for a possible triple up plus isn't necessarily a bad move.

If you end up all-in verses both of these players then you'll win 48.40% of the time and tie 2.15% of the time verses two other random hands pre-flop. Is it coin flip worth it? Give us a little more of the info I listed above and I can give you more of an opinon of what I would have done.

I say fold.

In a live game you never call two bets unless you have the best hand which would be AA. Since there are 2 raisers in front of you in this case Folding is the obvious choice.

[Suited Frenzy]

There was a raise in early postion (which usually = strength) & a re-raise. That re-raise was almost half your stack, unless you want to risk it all in a coin flip or less situation then fold there. Pick a better spot to get your $$$ in.

I wonder what new2poker did. He started that topic back in January lol that's what I get for bringing back old topics lol

Hard to make a decision without knowing how these players have been playing, but seeing a standard raise from one big stack and a reraise to close to 30k, which happends to be half my stack, I would easily fold it.
Cant just call. If gonna play it, has to be a shove and you still dont know what early raiser might do.
Id pick a better spot to make a stand, thinking your up vr a big pair of AK at the min in this hand.

[desperad0oo7]

depends on opponents. but here a huge stack is reraising another huge stack. usually that means AQ is not good. fold and get it in when you are firt in the pot with much more marginal hands and you would still be better off

[GiJoeValdez]

he still hasn't posted the results lmao!

I bet he forgot about it :D
