Re: Folding AK?
This is one of them IMO. Granted, it's optimal to be the pusher instead of the pushee, but you have exactly 5BB's remaining after posting. Certainly the 3.5x-almost-half-his-stack raise screams strength, but I think you must push all-in here, and 'hope' to see QQ/JJ...or worse.

Re: Folding AK?
Why advocate a Stop n Go here? Isn't it better to stop n go with hands like low suited connectors or even any two, rather than strong hands like AK? I push here.
and then I type "I have AK" just to make them hate themselves when they call with worse or to make them just wonder if they fold. And if they call with a pocket pair I slink out of the room. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

Re: Folding AK?
I go ahead and push over the top preflop. You'd like AK to see all 5 board cards while all-in. Certainly a stop and go would work, but I'd like to double through here, instead of simply picking up what's in the pot. Also, BB is yet to act preflop.

Re: Folding AK?
POOOOSH, you have 5 BB and one of the strongest preflop hands. Go for it!
