Not so bad w/13BB's - nice t175 pot to grab. The other arguement is call, pushing over a possible raise from behind - or taking it to flop, chancing getting doubled-up on a K/A.

I think this is a MUCH better play in the blinds. You've got position on the other two, so a flat call hoping to stack as mentioned would be better.

I know some people says its prob more plus EV to raise or limp but its not as easy. |

Re: AK ok push in level 3? (22s)
I like this push here, If your good at post flop, i can see where you would wanna limp. Its tough to play here because if you dont hit your A, or K here and these guys are playing anything your running out of chances to build your stack. If you do hit your a or k you might not make any money off it anways if these guys are limping everything. I think its best to just get all in now, now you have almost two more blinds for next level.

Besides matching your A or K on the flop what flop are you gonna like seeing? And how often r u gonna get paid off from guys who like to play junk. If an A or K comes and they don't have it they will probably fold to any shown strength. I put thenm to the test now and push. yabastid |

Re: AK ok push in level 3? (22s)
Yeah, I don't mind a push here...it's one of these "this feels like overplaying it," but if you think about it...
You don't want to limp and find yourself in a 5-way pot holding AK. Your odds just really aren't very good there, and even if you do hit, there's a very good chance you go broke. A normal raise (with two limpers) might be something like 5xBB -- which leaves you with 8xBB left in your stack. Then, say one limper calls and checks to you on a Q or lower flop. It's almost obligatory at that point that you make a continuation bet to try to pick up the pot...and by that point, your only flop bet is all-in. So if limping puts you in a tenuous position and a normal raise pretty much already commits you to this pot no matter what hits...why not push? Logic seems simple enough. |

Re: AK ok push in level 3? (22s)
Ok first of all, limping sucks.
Pushing is fine. I also like raising to 250 or so and pushing any flop. |
