WSOP have not posted new questions in quite some time now, sorry to all who look forward to seeing these. With all the ruckas in online poker they seem to have forgotten us regulars. This situation is from a tourney I was in, the buyin has been changed for fun....
World Series of Poker (WSOP) Situation:Late stages of a $25 buy in tournament. Blinds / Antes: 2500/5000 ante 500 Your Position / Stack: BB/89 000 Your Hand: AhJh Action: 2 callers, SB raises 10K. You reraise to 25K, all fold to the SB, he pushes allin with 500K What is your move here???
I will let you know later what the SB had for whole cards..........

I guess we can't fold here. But it is our first raise that brings us in this spot. We just should not raise that amount. The pot is around 30k when action is on us and we raise to 25k with 64k behind? This is asking for trouble. So either we call the minraise or go all-in ourself, but this smallish raise will do us no good.
Would call as there was already 50K or so in the pot before he shoved and you have left yourself about 13 BB so it is either do it now where the Big stack may be bullying with anything or get it in later with a worse hand etc.

I would call as there seems too much in the pot already. Although I would have played it different in the first place as AJ is my most unfavoured hand - been caught out too many times with it in the past. I would have probably folded when the SB raised. - Though thats just me. Let them fight it out.

If you answer these questions correct, can you win a entry to the WSOP Main Event? If so count me in and I will gladly answer all the WSOP questions, just kidding my friends.

Yes, but you have to answer 360 correctly in a row. LMAO So I said I would come back later and say what the SB had for whole cards. Turns out the SB had KK, so did my AhJh hold up on the BB????? Did I get my BB special?????? To be honest, I very rarely win the BB. Usually only with mid to high PP's.

I would have folded to SB, but since I called, I'm commited to go allin at this point. Hope to hit the flush or something tyo carry me to the next hand.
