Tough spot on FTB in 33 dollar turny

CO: 251301
BN: 158349
SB: 80546
BB: 208386
UTG: 65376
HJ: 152312 (Hero)
11 players left, so almost FTB. Utg had just lost a big pot the last hand he played and insta jams his last 13BB.
Preflop (7500) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt A J
UTG raises to 64576, and is all in, Hero raises to 151512, and is all in
In game I knew that I was way ahead of utg range and was feeling ok with the re-jam. Without letting you guys know the outcome is this allways a re-jam?

As I allready have said I think this is a re-jam all day long, but is there ever any circumstances that make this a fold? The only specific situation I can think of now must be FTB in Sunday Million (For ICM reasons)?

What do you guys think?

My intuition says that AT is a fold and AJ is pretty close to me. He needs to be shoving enough KQ/AT/A9 to this shove become a +EV in terms of future game simulation. 

Went to holdem resources and find 77+, AJs+, AJo+ is a profitable shove being AJo a +.2bb cEV so, probably it is a ICM fold or very very close fold.

Thanks for the reply Raphael! 

I think the same as you if this was a "normal" shove from UTG. However, experience from similar situations in tournaments under $ 50 is that players who have just lost a big pot jams almost all aces down to A4s / A5o when they have around 10BB left. 


The reason I'm thinking more on the hand after the turny is if any of the four players behind me wake up with a hand, three of the four players left to act is covering me in chips. Is it than too much too jam 31BB over the open shove? Or am I just overthinking the situation?

you are welcome (:

I am sure that losing a big pot have an impact on people ranges but it is too subjective to take into account when deciding a close situation like this. Holdemresources takes how many people left to talk into the math but AJ is fine, blocks a lot of people reshoving ranges and them combined near 14-16% of the time you are going to face QQ+/AQs+ so I think is fine but if you think your edge against the final players is high enough it is ok to fold on this situations.

I definitely think I have a big edge one the final 10 players, so in that case this maybe a fold. But I just hate too make a big laydown just to see a worse hand win! :P 

Final results for the actual hand.

UTG: Q10o BN: Thinks for 40-50 sec and jams AKss. I lose to both hands.

He has to shove 25%-30% for your AJo to be profitable. So a fold would be the safe line to take, even more so if you think you have a big edge.

Given the QTo horrible shove he made, you most likely made the correct call.
