Blinds are 500/1000. I'm in the BB with T-19603 and get dealt AK of clubs. The villian T-35796 who is right before the hijack open raises 3k.
It folds to me what do you do? Comments below-
Now this is what I thought preflop when it got to me. I thought a)that I had a huge hand. I thought about reraising, but this guy had been really aggro with like deuces and I felt I was to deepstacked to stand a reraise with AK without knowing where I stand. So I felt my best play was to either call or push. I chose to call because I felt like pushing was a donk play. Is it? Am I to deep stacked to push? Is there ever a point when you are to deepstacked to push?
Now I call and the flop comes queen high. Now normally, if I felt I could runover the villian I would auto bet in this situation depending on the flop. I thought a queen high flop that had no straight draws or flush draws was a great flop for me, and I was 100% sure if he had a pair or not, he would bet. Now in this situation does a good tournament player check fold? I don't normally play tournaments, granted I have read both harrington books and Skalansky's book. Granted I don't play tournies that often. I'm not sure if I'm results oriented here or what. I'm really bitter about this hand. I feel like I made such bad plays here.
