I know I should have passed, but I have to post to check

Last 18 of mtt.  Currently 3rd in chips with 370k. Big blind has 430k and has been got them all from a couple of luckyish pots where he was an underdog to win the pots.  Blinds 10k/20k.  Fold to me in SB with AKo and I raise to 40k. BB shoves.

I clearly called and lost, but what do you need to make the call here?  Is AK ok or do I need a big pair?

I have to ask as I don't make it this deep that often!

[ChipRich]

Abs snap it, then go on to win the torn.

AK is ze nuts

[M3boy]

3rd in chips with 18xBB ?

wow

[LeKnave]

at 10/20K id make it like 55K and absolutely snap it so fast.


[X] AK is the absolute stone cold joint.

Fair do's so it wasn't that bad, thanks.

M3 obv doesn't play on Ipoker that much, although in fairness, the blinds had just gone up.

[gatso]

what are you trying to achieve with the min raise?

grrr, don't make me think about it retrospectively at 2am!!!  I just wanted to get the blinds.

I'm not 100% sure why I ended up min raising, I clicked the plus arrow for the raise amount 3 times and it ended up on 40k and I didn't consider that it was a min raise to be honest.  I thought about shoving but it seemed extreme and too obvious to me, but I appreciate that the min raise was equally, if not more weak.  (although I didn't see it as a min raise at the time)

Whilst I was probably always going to call a shove, perhaps raising more would have made him think more about shoving?   What would you need to shove in this position?  I had him on a wide range which is why I called.

AK and 99 BvB with like 20bb's effective is a cooler and always going in.  Hes shoving w/e you make it probs and calling a shove if you just open ship.

flip better next time though.
