What's the best line here? I'm trying out a more LAG approach.

Final Pot: t24847

Initial raiser was being very aggressive with his short stack pre-flop.
My thinking: A call here against a small stack with the prospect of folding post-flop to an all-in was too weak/tight. A min. raise might get an all-in behind me, and now I know I'm in a coin flip scenario, and would be forced to fold after betting 30+% of my stack. So I pushed in the hopes of isolating the small stack and scaring off any small/med. pairs behind me.

Thoughts?

any other line would be way wrong, especially given the read.

[TheTimeIsUp]

This is a standard play.

Any consideration for waiting for a better position to get all your chips in? Are my early pos. and non-desperate stack size factors?

(For the record, I'm fairly comfortable with my decision. But maybe I'm wrong, so I thought I'd play Devil's Advocate).

it's pretty unlikely you're going to find a better one.

[TheTimeIsUp]

Not pushing this hand would be extremely weak/tight. Waiting isn't the game.

Thanks for the feedback.

I do the same thing with how short stacked you are.

"I'm trying out a more LAG approach"

So an all in reraise with 11xBB with AK is LAGGY? Seems pretty TAG to me.

[reallybigshoe]

ok, maybe not LAG. But i had pushed with AK at least three other times on that table, a couple of which i was pretty sure were coin flip scenarios. Maybe not laggy, but certainly being awfully ferocious with them. I think the table was picking up on my pattern.

That's not a lag approach. That's standard.

Lag approach is doing it with AT suited.
