Title: Ak vs shortstacks Post by: acc2020 on June 06, 2011, 01:02:58 AM I've been losing a bit of money with my Ad Ks s recently against some tight shortstack students.
This example happened a few times over the weekend in 50p/£1 cash game. Straddle £2 call call I raise on button with Ad Kh to £16 , playing approx £170 Tight student in small blind flat calls ( has £14 left ) One more caller ,so pot is just over £50 flop 2h 6c Td Tight student bets his last £14 , other guy passes. I know he doesn't have aces or kings but know he at the very least he has a pair whether a pocket or has hit the board.In these instances I've been calling the few quid it costs to call with effectively Ace high knowing i need to get lucky. The last few weekends a few of these students have been sitting down with £20 and taking it up to £60/£80 and then leaving giving us little chance of getting it back. Given their tiny stack sizes am i doing the right thing by calling? Or should i relinquish by cards if they jam and i miss? I must of donated about £200 this past weekend to these kids in hands similar to the one I've explained above.

You must call - you're betting £14 to win £64, Assuming you have 6 clean outs you're about 3/1 to hit and are getting 4/1 on the call. Title: Re: Ak vs shortstacks Post by: cambridgealex on June 06, 2011, 01:19:48 AM These guys tilt the fk out of me. Its a snap ainec, just get there more often.

I generally just play super aggro vs them, they are usually really nitty and if I have a value hand that may be dodgy post flop if they do a stop and go, I just make it enough pre so that it's +ev to call post flop no matter the board. |
