Calling all in with AK

[Amatay]

get it in and lose to QQ after flopping the ace, simples

[George2Loose]

redarmi is correct. 50 bigs is standard. Don't 3 bet unless you're willing to get it in

so correct me if i am wrong everytime you get AK with 50 big blinds or less you are stacking off.

horses for courses obv but i am happy to have 40+ bigs. i think this is indicitive of the major differences in our thinking. as i play mostly live or sats that often have poor structures i rarely get 4 bet by a hand that AK is better than a race with. i dont want to give a sucker who i am 100% better than the even chance against me.

Thanks for all the replies.  I called the all in bet, and he flipped over KK. Flop brought a king and that was pretty much that. Down to 9k or so and never got back.
Was pretty sure it was the right play prior to posting, but just wanted to double check

[Solaris]

Flat pre.

You'll more than likely going to double him up post-flop given the flop brought a K, but I like a flat pre as I we're IP to an opponent who is likely to fire 1, maybe 2 barrels post-flop.

As played though, you pretty much have to stack off pre as 3b/folding AK is pretty weak...As someone else said though, don't 3b without a plan.

[Pharo]

It's possible this could be a fold, but without more information "snap call" is the only answer that works for me.

Flatting is def better than 3b/folding but it could cause problems when we see a flop so I would rather be aggressive PF.

[piestack]

string raise him back, "i'll see your 5000, and raise you a £10 off at boots voucher (subject to £20 minimum purchase)"

[Rupert]

3b/call or flatting pre are both good.  I'd probs flat, u know see a flop and outplay them with live tells etc (try hit tp)

[pleno1]

def 100% flat. cawl 3 streets with way board ran.

[SuuPRlim]

Longy said it.

if we 3bet here we're stacking off, flatting is abso fine, might even be better, who knows!
