Title: AK spot
Post by: Cf on August 01, 2010, 02:10:14 PM
A while since I've put a hand on here so I thought I'd put this up. This is one I end up losing but I've heard a couple of different options on what I can do in this spot.

£250 f/o. 10k/45min. Blinds are 100/200. UTG (good player, doesn't seem to have been too out of line so far, playing ~20k) opens to 550. UTG+1 (good player, have missed the pots he's actually been involved in tho, playing ~7k) flats. Folds to us on the button (playing 6.5k) and we look down at AKo.

Part 1 of analysis. Do we... a) shove, b) 3bet, c) call. And why?

i'd probably 3bet/get it in with your stack size

normally when I see someone post an AK hand I know my response before I read it.

Ship it

I just ship here, depends on your image whether shipping or 3bet/call is better but either will do.

Very standard jam?

Shove seems to be the consensus then. It was either that or 3bet. I decided to 3bet/get it in so made it 2025.

Then something I wasn't expecting happened. The BB (playing ~20k) made it 6000. The other two guys folded and it was back to me. I have to call off here having put 2k of my 6.5k in already?

Yes 'cos theres 8875 in the pot so we're getting almost exactly 2 to 1 so we have the required 33% equity against even a range as tight as QQ+,AKs

I think your best line would be to change your font colour.

It makes me squint when you post and if someone quotes you it's barely readable.

its really not close, we 3b jam all our bluffs, deffo not deep enough to flat, pickup decent dead money, ugh, w 9k we can 3b call it off, or if we are playing old guys we can 3b small call it off to hope they incorrectly foldout mid-pairs to our "strength".

a) because there are 1,400 chips in the middle which would immediately increase your stack by over 20% which i like doing A LOT
