A few hands from a mini step 5

[cleinen]

No real good reads on either hand. It was his first push in the second hand. It is a very top heavy payout.

Quickly, I fold 1 and push/call 2.

the____D______RY likes to push push push! With many hands.

I don't like to be in a 3-way pot with AKs. Mabye I'm wrong though.

[applejuicekid]

I would fold hand 1. However, I really don't feel comfortable with this answer. AKs seems like it will be a head too often here. There is still the original raiser to worry about it. Also, since you said it was a very top heavy payout makes me want to call as well.

Hand 2 I would call. The raiser is on the button and can have a lot of hands.

[tigerite]

I agree with both, AK in the first one though the better hand is going to be 3-way quite probably, and well, that raise just reeks of a big hand to me. I dodge.

AQ, he's pushing from the CO, this looks like a blatant steal to me, and at best he has a mid pair here, there is way too much chance he has A8o+ (and that's probably being conservative) and even KQ, KJ. I'd call, quickly.

What Tigerite Said

[Apathy]

Im good with mucking the first one, The second one is a super easy call, sorry you got shown something good.

[Scuba Chuck]

Hand 1 reminds me of an old ZeeJustin HH. EP raises, MP reraises, Zee pushes his AK. EP called with 99, MP called with AQ. Right or wrong, just reminded me of this.

[tigerite]

We all know Zee is a donk.. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

I folded both hands. I figured a med pp on the second hand but he pushed alot after that. I think his range was much wider than I had originally thought.
