which poker hands are better

[AceoverKing3]

most fish go all in on have the ace , its stupid , its not poker its lottery.

I never go forward with 2s.
(Unless I'm compelled to hang around as Big Blind Guy for a minute or two)

I just don't.

And I almost always receive the warm and fuzzy confirmation that the outcome would have totally sucked had I stayed in the hand.

Need more info than what was provided to actually make a decision. Would need to know stage of tournie (if its a tournie) what the blinds are. what type of poker they have been playing if you know. just giving the hole cards doesnt provide enough info, well not for me anyways

Also to say whether one play or another is right or not is strange as its a flip so half the time one hand will win and the other half the other will win.

you have pocket 2s and bet 250 preflop and your stack is 12k the other guy goes all in for 2.3k he has ace king would you call?


YES or no

if you picked yes your right the flop was ace king 2 the turn was ace and the river was a 2! LUCKY GUY

Come on... seriously.. this isn't a 'strategy' question.... this is like me saying, "I've got a coin in my hand right now and I'm going to flip it up into the air. Tell me what the right call is." If you guessed tails,.. you chose the correct play cuz it came up tails..???

22
could be an allin push depending upon the circumstances. Let's say you're in the Red Zone (less than 5M in your stack) you're late in an mtt, and you are one of the shorter stacks on your table. You're sitting in 5th position and no-one has opened with a raise (or call.. cuz 'usually' in a decent game, if someone is even calling from early position (at this stage of a tourney) then they've usually got a strong hand cuz indoubtedly the pot will be getting raised and quite likely re-raised and most often a flop won't even be seen),.. .ok. so in say 4th or 5th position,... it's an insta-shove allin. You're really hoping for all the other's to fold and you're needing to get it allin preflop here before the blinds eat you up and you no longer have fold equity.

To 'call' with 22??... I personally wouldn't do it under almost all circumstances. I NEED to have a much stronger hand to call with, than I need to open or shove with ('Gap Concept',.. something all good players are keeping in mind,.. ie. AJ is an easy open but to call with it??... very risky in early or mid time of tourney,.. there's just far too high of a possibility that the early raiser is coming in with AK or AQ and has you dominated to where you're drawing to only 3 outs.. who wants to get their money in with those kinds of odds.
If I was sitting on the blinds and had my opponent outchipped by more than 8x, I'd call depending upon other stack sizes, how deep we are in tourney, what the early shortstack shover has been playing like, etc.
I would NEVER call if there were other players to act. If I really felt the necessity to play it, I would always raise enough to (hopefully?) isolate the shortstack's allin.

This is the best I could do for answering this question cuz to be totally honest,.. I don't even think it is a question. (ie. I've got 7-7 and think he's got 6-6 or 8-8,.. I'm shortstacked and so is he,.. he's shoved first,.. I'm next to act,.. do I shove, or fold??).
He had 66,.. if you shoved you were right????) huh?
