slink 1 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 If it was me in the trny I would call.But given a chance to look/think about it I have to say fold.What does he go all in with? AA-99, A10 +? Most likely a big pair IMO. Link to post Share on other sites
Solar 0 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 First off, the big blind is not late position.I like just flatting the raise. Could be wrong, but we won't go broke often if we do, and could win heaps of AQ or AJ because hey, people always 3-bet AK right? Often we are going to be stacking off or playing a bigger pot out of position if we raise. If we are going to 3-bet though, I would say we should be stacking off with AK.

potatoman 0 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I would likely flatted the initial raise.As played unless the reraiser has shown signs of being a massive moron, he should have a good hand here against AK. I like seeing flops with AK myself. So, I'm folding. Link to post Share on other sites

Just on the face of it, it's hard to fold AK here. Link to post Share on other sites

JSpencer 0 Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 I really hate folding AK preflop..As for the results, I called, he showed pocket sixes and the board came 2 7 10 Q 8.looking back, I think calling the initial raise would have been the best move. Link to post Share on other sites
rrumsey 0 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 marginal call of the reraise because we could be getting a gift early from AQ or Aj if the overbet shover is a donkey i just wished we were suited but I think this is a good spot with lots of dead money to make up for the times we miss. Who knows this maybe a squeeze with air its a small buy in tourny people can be very crazy Link to post Share on other sites
rrumsey 0 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 the call of the open or reraise should be based on the read, if any, from the intial utg raiser but most likely the 3-bet and 4-bet shove makes almost everything fold to you anyways and i don't think 400 some chips changes our position too much so not a bad play just didn't get lucky Link to post Share on other sites
