Of course it matters....especially in an all-in situation. KT was ahead, but only by about a 60-40 advantage....he woulda been much better off if the guy had A-10 or a weaker ace than that. But that's poker and tournaments, and when you're short stacked you gotta make a stand sometimes. It's worth keeping in mind that the other guy has about a 48% chance of hitting one of his 2 cards on the board....KT's still the favorite 'cause he wins if: 1) The other guy fails to pair up. 2) If the other guy pairs, but so does KT 3) If KT hits a straight, 1 card flush or other freak hand In no-limit, short stacked, AJ is a decent hand to raise all in with ('cause you may get everyone out preflop), not as good to CALL an all-in raise with (but still pretty decent, especially in a short handed game).
