Party 10+1: limping AKo UTG
I don't like my limp preflop, but a standard raise would commit me to the pot, and I don't really like the thought of pushing this early in the game.
Seat 4 is the button Total number of players : 8 Seat 2: Coogus ( $2180 ) Seat 4: blufftoner ( $1390 ) Seat 5: stoody ( $462 ) Seat 6: QUEENG ( $687 ) Seat 7: hero ( $755 ) Seat 8: bBuYLoEWeN ( $920 ) Seat 9: strongsad ( $866 ) Seat 10: strummer80 ( $740 ) Level:4 Blinds(50/100) ** Dealing down cards ** Dealt to hero [ As Kc ] hero calls [100]. 3 fold Coogus raises [200]. 2 fold QUEENG calls [100]. hero calls [100]. ** Dealing Flop ** [ 2c, Qs, 4d ] QUEENG checks. hero checks.

By limping and calling the minraise you are rather committed (1/4 of your stack). Pushing in up front is better than limping.

Re: Party 10+1: limping AKo UTG
I agree. I would push with only 7.5bb and be happy if I only picked up the blinds. At the very least, you re-raise allin to the min-raise.
My answer may have been different before reading TPFAP. In it, Sklansky has a section on AK in NL. He points out that you are a big favorite over any other A or K, a lesser favorite to two under cards, and only a slight underdog to a pair below KK. The only two hands to worry about are AA and KK. And, by pushing pf, you avoid the sometimes difficult play afterwards. But I wouldn't do it unless my stack was low, like yours was. |

Re: Party 10+1: limping AKo UTG
I like the all-in move before the flop. You likely have the best hand at this point. Small to mid PP are not likely to call. You still have a large enough stack to scare away most loose callers. If your stack is further depleted by the blinds, you may not get respect for your all in move.

Re: Party 10+1: limping AKo UTG
this is a great spot to go all-in. i think it's bad enough not to push right away, but after he min-raises you, you have to go all-in right then. you called $200 PF and missed and then folded. now you are down to $555.
