coming over the top with AK ($10+1)
I can think of many scenarios where it's profitable to push AK preflop, but what about this scenario?
Blinds 15/30 -- no reads yet UTG+1(850) raises to 121 UTG+2(448) goes all in folded to Hero(755) on button with AKs SB (721) BB (966) I was ready to push against the first raise, but with the short stack allin I am much more hesitant to make the move. Sure it's great if I have both dominated, but I think it's much less likely here against a raise and a reraise allin. Folding seemed weak and calling 60% of my stack with the blinds and the first raiser left to act seemed worse. So I pushed. Your thoughts? |

Re: coming over the top with AK ($10+1)
I think that imagining your hand to have "both dominated" is somewhat unhealthy. With two villains, you've got twice as many ways to lose with what is still just a drawing hand.
With two villains it's most likely worse than a coin-flip for you. |

I know calling is generally frowned upon, but in this situation I might. It all depends on my impression of the other players. I would not mind seeing the flop with 1 or 2 callers that might believe their AJ or AQ good if an A hits.
