Default Re: Should i lay down AKs here?

well you have to look at your competition and when the blinds are gonna increase. what chance if you fold do you think you have to hit the money or win the sit n go. if you thought you would finish the way you did then taking the chance with UTG wouldnt have been a bad idea.

Strassa's right. And who cares what UTG has? As long as you're ahead of the range UTG+1 would isolate-raise with here, you're gaining chips with the side pot. The main pot would be an added bonus.

I'm calling without too much thought here.

You can't know what's going to happen in the future. If you're a weaker player I guess a call wouldn't be too bad here. But if you're decent, you should, on average be able to find better spots than this.

Are you serious?

Voltron, why are you so willing to get involved with something that is very often going to look like this?

As Ks 481346 35.12 845419 61.68 43989 3.21 0.366
3c 3h 540743 39.45 823024 60.04 6987 0.51 0.396
Ah Qh 304676 22.23 1022089 74.56 43989 3.21 0.237

Especially when UTG+1 has been tight?

Yes, if you win you are pretty sure to get ITM. But at the tens, you are pretty sure to get ITM anyway when you have a decent stack by this level.

Please explain why you think accepting a 60%+ suckout risk is a good idea here.

Now it does matter alot to EV as to which of the two stacks has the dominated hand and which has the PP. But you cant really know which is which.

You are forgetting that hero only needs to beat bigstack here for it to be a profitable play. So ignore small stack and run your calculations again.

UTG+1 is playing tight and he doesn't need this pot. Not only does UTG probably have you beat, AK is not friendly in this multiway pot IMO. It is almost guaranteed that someone has pocket pair holdings and you are sharing some of your outs with the other player (at least your ace). Why take a risk this large when you will likely just split at BEST. Furthermore, the person with the pair is probably going to take all the cash.
I agrew with tilt.

edit: Thinking about it some more, I would call. You're only a slight underdog to TT, JJ, or QQ and it's currently level 4.

What impact does the level have on my decision? Increasing blinds force me more and more to make a move, and in ten hands i have to make that move with something remarkable weaker than AKs, is that your point?

Ya that and also your opponents will push with weaker hands as the blinds increase, etc.
