Title: AK near the bubble facing a shove Post by: AceOnTheRiver on February 25, 2009, 11:07:18 PM Satellite 10 players left blinds are 3000/6000 I am on the button with 29000 and a player with 31000 shoves. There are 8 seats up for grabs and I look down at AK.
Because of the circumstances I thought for a second before calling... but is this always a call? My logic is that I am probably against QQ to 66 and racing 50% of the time. Dominating AQ to A10 30% and behind AA or KK 10 to 20% of the time. Am i right or could I have folded? In this case he had 99 and hit on the flop.

When do the blinds hit you? Are their antes? Title: Re: AK near the bubble facing a shove Post by: gatso on February 25, 2009, 11:37:10 PM 10 handed or 5 handed?
Title: Re: AK near the bubble facing a shove Post by: AceOnTheRiver on February 25, 2009, 11:52:36 PM 10 handed no antes I am the short stack and there are 2 other players with similar stacks to me - I'm on the button. No antes.
Title: Re: AK near the bubble facing a shove Post by: GreekStein on February 25, 2009, 11:57:29 PM I think I fold here and just look to get my chips in in an unopened pot or two within the next few hands

The fact this guy picks up 10k+ (assuming antes) if it gets through and you don't call doesn't help your cause, and you guarantee a seat if you win the hand. He could def be shoving light in his position. I don't think you were wrong to call with AK in this spot. Then again there are mitigating factors. If there are a couple more 30k stacks on the table you can make the fold. If there were 9 seats it's probs a fold as well.
