Default Re: $30+3 AK stack size, look at me

If I sensed the player was solid, its different. But I do not want to assume the player is SOLID.

Look...you can only do so much in the analysis of these hands. Yes, there's a chance he isn't solid at all and bases all his decision on the music he's listening to on the radio at the time. You have to go by something to make a decision, and assuming that the dude with the most chips down to 4 players and correctly pressuring the middle-stack blinds with the short stack having less than a BB left is at least SEMI-solid is a pretty good assumption, I think. And even with all that said, I still think you should be erring in the direction of being more conservative with your play here rather than too aggressive, because there is an awful lot to lose (you really shouldn't get many 4ths when you have $1800 in chips and the 4th place guy has less than a BB left).
