Curious to the answers I will get will be. I mean whether the player going all-in is tight or loose it could mean very little for anyone can get pocket aces or pocket Kings etc. So what do you need in your hole cards to call that preflop all-in. For me If I have pocket Aces I will call Pocket Kings also and AKs although I've lost many all-ins with that last one. I'm curious as to does anyone call preflop all-ins with KQs or KJs or about those cards unsuited What about AQ suited or not Is this an all in call bet? How about AJs or A10s Are these all-in call hands?

It really depends on my stack, his stack, his position, his style, etc.
If he's fairly shortstacked and re-raised all-in on the button... I might be willing to call him with AQ or AJ or something along those lines, assuming he's probably on a lower PP or a high split like myself.
I wish I could give a better answer, but it really heavily depends on the player, the situation, etc. Though, I will call an all-in with Pocket Aces %99.9999 of the time, at least ;P

I almost got smoked last night, but intelligence and experience stood up for me. I got AQs down to five players last night. I raised to 3xBB (about 150 if I remember right). My left calls. His left goes all-in. I think about it for a minute. The all-in is about 20x my bet. I decide to fold. My left calls. My left had KK and All-in guy had AA. I felt really good after that. :D

Usually the only time I go all-in Pre-Flop is when I'm very short stacked and I know the blinds are going to eat me up. I try not to wait until me chips don't make a difference.
2 weeks ago I was in a tournament and was getting nothing. Crap! Finally I got 89s and when all-in. Someone called me and an 8-9 came up on the flop. I doubled up. Two hands latter I was dealt 99. I was on the big blind and everyone else checked so I went all-in again. One guy called me. He told me straight out he thought I was bluffing to steal the blinds. He had A3s.
One 3 came up on the flop and another on the river. I lost. I was a breath away from a miracle comeback! Damn it was an early night for me! I hate that!
Anyway, rarely do I go all-in except in this case. I might go all-in if I have the nut and I feel that someone else might call me buy that doesn’t seem to happen all that often.
