Outcome: MP2 wins $80.87. MP1 wins $74.77.




OK so push PF? I wasn't actually going for the reraise as the table was extremely passive, but since I had the opportunity I figured 4x would express my hand well enough.
I did consider the push but since there was some wierd min raises and cold calls in the middle of that sequence, it was looking for a moment like I was up against AA so if it was pushed back at me I had a chance of laying it down (something I have done correctly in the past but not against either villain).
Flop play: Pretty much push with any board? I don't think I would have actually made a CB (push or whatever) had I not had a spade. I was getting odds to push the flop (assuming both called) even though I knew I was behind, someone had to have an A and also confident neither of my opponents had a spade, giving me max outs (2K, 9s and some freaky QT straight combo).

Well you certainly had your pot odds after both of them called you with AQ. What were they thinking?!?!

Think of it this way..if you had checked and they both moved in...it would have been about $36 for you to call in a $120 pot....your all-in was +EV on the flop.

The problem with this play is the fact taht obviouly you have 0 folding equity. On higher limits you probably could have gotten one of the opponents to fold. I think the all-in is marginal...but like i said you certainly got your odds on the flop, especically when they both called. It's too bad you didn't hit.
