I prefer Trev's idea Angel. I can then erase last night's debacle from the official records. Knew I shouldn't believe Misty when he told me that 68o was the new AA.

It works with 'The Misty Magic' Matt.....(:D}......hee hee !!!!!!
WELL DONE to those that have cashed......or got their seats for Finals. Great performance from Roseeeeeee tonight in UKPC semi.....and probably even better in getting to semi from 2BB's. Unlucky MattyP in semi in just missing out. I was going really well early doors 3rd or 4th place, but had this hand and I would like some advice/help or at least people's thoughts pleeeeease.

hi misty hope u well big big fold i would call and be happy with it unless notes on player. also think u 3 bet size pre need to be bigger so about 180-250 ish. but interesting hand can u teach me to play sats u seem to smash them at moment keep it up.
He min raises UTG so I suspect he has a small pair (Set Mining) & didn't want to just limp in and be punished for it, so he just min raises. Having done so he now has to call your re-raise which like rspca says it's just not big enough and it's not going to get any info from him either.
So he makes the call & checks the flop, if he hit the Queen here I think he would now have to bet into it, but the check looks more like a flopped set (4's maybe?)
Turn card is another 2 & he shoves, so I think Full House 4's over 2's (Would be sick if it's quad 2's lol)
I still just could'nt see him limping with Q's UTG (Cause what does he do if it comes A or K high flop?) also, if he now has FH Q's over 2's I think he would be checking the turn to induce a bet from you rather than shoving.
So for me it's either 4's over 2's or a sick quad 2's (Unlikely) even if he has A2 suited you are still behind, so I think it's probably a good fold.
A very tough fold though and I suspect most of us (including me) would make the call given how little time we have on the clock to think about it.
Looking at it from the other players point of view...he most likely puts you on AA, KK, AQ.

Hi Misty
Interesting hand and a very disciplined fold. I'm pretty sure I would have called, as I like a gamble(!) but would be watching the outcome through my fingers.
I know you're concerned about 22 or QQ. I don't see many x 2 hands he's playing like this with (UTG raise then calling your decent sized bet twice). So I'd be thinking if he has a 2 in his hand he probably has quad 2's in which case gg, not my day.
In respect of QQ, his play pre and post flop would be consistent with that but I don't think I'd be shoving with that - feels more like a single Q with a good kicker and wanting to take it down there and then.
Having said all that it's a satellite not a tourney and you're already well positioned and more than able to live to fight another day. So my head says good fold, my heart says sod that I'm not folding my aces!

It's a snap call in a normal MTT, and it's probably a call in a sat as well (this early anyway)
If you're folding AA there then you are folding pretty much absolutely everything. Not concerned in the slightest that we might be beat, and if we are then we still have plenty behind to spin up again. I'd be amazed if this isn't Qx, and the 2 is a good card for us giving us additional insurance heading to the river.
Thanks everyone for your input on the AAces hand.......it's interesting to hear all the different views and just shows what a great game Poker is.
'Plentytime' did qualify for Sunday's Final so he must be quite a decent player......first time I'd come across him.....and I play quite a few of these UKPC sat's. as you know. I'll look out for him Sunday.
GOOD LUCK at the tables tonight everyone.....and as ALWAYS........
