During Saturday’s tournament with 4 players left, two of our best players made very average calls to All In bets with average holdings.

Calling an All In with deepstack and for more than 20% of my stack I need a minimum of AK.  My reasoning for this is simple – I’m in front of all random cards and only behind to a pocket pair.  Next time you think of calling an All In with A8 A9, ask yourself what range of hands you could possibly be in front of.
