Title: Do I have any other option other than an all-in bet here?
Post by: TheRaise on July 13, 2009, 12:51:42 PM
£33 freezeout.  13 left, 4 paid.  No info on players as I have only just moved table.  Blinds 400/800, 6 handed table.  UTG (about 50k) opens for 2400.  Player immediately behind him (also about 50k) calls and button (about 12k) also calls.  SB folds.  I have about 22k in chips and look down at AK off in the BB....

Call then shove any flop is also an option but pre-shove flop is pretty standard.

Yeah, I was trying to think of posting something other than 'fist-pump insta-shove' and that was the best I could come up with. It does work better live than online though.

Standard shove then cross fingers and toes UTG doesn't call. I don't think flatting here sometimes is that terrible though if we think UTG has us beat. Being out of position sucks though so nearly always shoving.

shoving is easily the best option the only option - you will get called by so much less including hands u crush, or its a race against at worst.

If they have AA KK - its a cooler or you have 30%

flatting is never an option here!
