Still not sure how I feel about this..

On a somewhat related note, I made the same push on another table in a similar situation with QQ. Which (if either) do you like better?

I like the QQ push better b/c people expect AK in that spot and are up in [censored] creek when you flip up QQ.

QQ is somewhat better but both should be standard at low buyins with thousands of limpers/out of position.

What buyin is this?

I think it is fine. It is 195 chips in the middle and no one seems to like their hand all that much. I certainly prefer it to raising 3xBB and having to play the hand out of position.

It's an $11, but I make the same play at 22s and probably 33s.

I'm pretty weak at playing AK out of position, which is my main reason for the move.

No one likes playing AK out of position. With t195 in the pot..... I think it's fine. And QQ's a better hand, but hey.
