Basically thats what this situation amounts to.  |
I respect your opinion but don't understand your logic.
Pre flop and you have AA and raise 5-6 times the blind and everyone folds and only one other person goes all in...What has he got that can beat you pre flop?
I may have misread the thread I am not sure...Unless he is extremely lucky you are in the box seat with a double pot to win...The odds justify the call.
As GAF says it is a split pot at worst all going well...What's the difference between the first hand and the fiftieth hand, if you are scared to bet the first hand when odds are in your favour, then you will be scared to bet the fitieth hand when the odds are in your favour.
I believe you have to have belief in your game and play your hand as it is, whether it is first hand or last hand..It defies logic that anyone would fold when the percentages are so much in theor favour, especially the best 2 cards.
Call him, get rid of him, and one less person you have to worry about...if he flukes a hand that puts you out, then put it down to a bad beat...Percentages say you will win around 80% of the time apparently, and that's a great percentage for me to take on.
