To me a raise short of all-in suggests that the player has KK, QQ, or perhaps JJ, and wants to get one-on-one, but is prepared to fold if the flop comes Ace high, since the most likely opponent hands will contain an ace. Many players like myself will simply shove with AA to get the maximum fold advantage and make the pot as large as possible, and if everyone else folds preflop, that is fine, as they often will since they understand the language of this game at this level. You want to get it down to one-on-one for the best chance to win, but you only have a few seconds to make a decision, and you know that if it goes wrong you could lose a lot of chips. ![]() To be in the blinds it is exciting, but also scary to look at a pair of Aces. In these tournaments there are many very promiscuous callers who will call almost any preflop raise in the first hour of the tournament with anything like QT suited, any pocket pair, and any suited ace, so that is what I would put the cut-off player on. I had guessed what the hand would be like before I looked at how it played out.
