Title: AK situation Post by: JungleCat03 on August 31, 2006, 03:47:32 AM Last 18 of 36$ comp 15 min levels.
AKc in the BB. You have 26k in about 6th spot..... it's 800 1600. Cut off pushes for 18k. Based on previous hands and situations and his chip stack size you don't think he is very strong and is unlikely to have a premium hand here. Perhaps a small medium pocket pair or raggyish ace. Button on 19k(who has been very aggressive pushing for 15 BBs preflop with stuff like A4 in LP) insta calls. You read this as he does have a good hand here as he had no decision to make preflop desipte this being for nearly all his chips. Play or nay for most of your stack.........?

Title: Re: AK situation Post by: snoopy1239 on August 31, 2006, 05:42:40 AM Due to the size of the call being made by the button, I'd fold.
No need to risk your stack with A-K against two opponents. Title: Re: AK situation Post by: boldie on August 31, 2006, 09:49:03 AM Due to the size of the call being made by the button, I'd fold. No need to risk your stack with A-K against two opponents. I'd agree...atleast 1 maybe 2 of your outs are gone. (I am taking one of them for a high ace or decent king) and if the other has a pocket pair you would be in trouble.

I agree with Boldie there is a chance that your up against another Ace and a pair which isnt a great place to be in for such a large proportion of your stack. Fold here and you still have plenty of chips and a chance to get your money in when its a more favourable situation. Just as I like to know these things what did the two players show?

At the time, my instincts were saying fold but i called on a rush of blood. (damn the 10 second timer!) CO had A7 Button had KK. I didn't get lucky. I think a lot of the reason i called was based on the button's super aggressive raising range but i knew in my head that calling his stack off very quickly was a different kettle of fish and that he'd be very strong here. Title: Re: AK situation Post by: M3boy on August 31, 2006, 06:21:20 PM FOLD
AK against 2 others - your best hope is both have weaker aces - how many times will this happen? Even then you are only 50% to win (I know u are getting 2 to 1 but still) Now if one of them has a pair, then you are 32% to win (even if the other person holds KQ) So at best you will win that pot 1 in 2 times. Lots of fold equity you have - simple fold for me Title: Re: AK situation Post by: Pab on August 31, 2006, 06:35:13 PM for the reasons mentioned above u have to pass
Title: Re: AK situation Post by: Royal Flush on August 31, 2006, 09:19:29 PM I call :D
