Advice for a big leak I have
I tend to do things like this too often. I don't want to raise too much with AKo because I want to induce a bet. I believe that the solution is to just make a bet of 200 post flop and fold if it is raised. Should I just push the AK?
$22 SNG -- Seat 3 is the button Total number of players : 4 Seat 3: Drainlife (2095) Seat 6: yorhett (1540) Seat 9: No_Skillz_ (1300) Seat 10: Badabum (3065) yorhett posts small blind (100) No_Skillz_ posts big blind (200) ** Dealing down cards ** Dealt to yorhett [ Ks, Ac ] Badabum folds. Drainlife folds. yorhett raises (300) to 400 No_Skillz_ calls (200) ** Dealing Flop ** : [ 4s, Qd, 3c ] yorhett bets (1140) yorhett is all-In. No_Skillz_ calls (900) No_Skillz_ is all-In. |

With blinds this high, and such a small stack, you really don't want to entice "action" with AK.
You have to push this preflop. |

Push preflop.
When your stack, or the biggest stack of your active opponents (people who haven't folded preflop yet) < 10x BB = Poosh/fold. Folding is really dumb, so pushing is good. Don't worry about inducing a call, they will come, and AK just isn't AA or KK. |

Re: Advice for a big leak I have
important tip to remember....AK is NOT THAT GOOD A HAND!!! One of its main values is by going allin preflop and making someone fold, or getting called and being only a slight underdog or a signifigant favorite. Making a small raise to suck someone in with a call is not such a great result because you will miss the flop so often.
Im oversimplifying things, but please remember that AK is simply not that great a hand by any means. Tyring to find creative ways to slowplay it on the bubble with high blinds, is a bit crazy. |

If you think of it as a drawing hand instead of a "made" hand, I think you'll find it will become more profitable for you. |
