Re: AKo heavy preflop action
 

With about 35K plus antes already in the pot, and that hand, I'd love my chances of getting a 75K+ stack if one guy calls, and almost 100K if both call and you win.

With a stack like that, you would have alot more options, which is always nice.

Not sure I understand the comments about folding cuz one person might have a pocket pair and the other guy would have a hand like AQ, you want to put pocket pairs to the test when you have a coinflip hand, and you definitely want to get an AQ hand to call which you have dominated, especially getting such nice pot odds.

I've made this push before with KQs with 9 bb's and a raiser and a reraiser in front of me based on odds alone and the fact that if I win, I got a monster stack.

Easy easy push.

Well what they're saying is that we have to hit an A or K to beat the pocket pair, and if one of my A's or K's are gone, that sucks.

but yea i'm not sure about this. i folded cause i hadn't seen them raising a lot, and it was a raise and a reraise from UTG, ,and i just didnt feel right.

So of course the board comes xAAxA.

Jesus...I thought HE raised to 9K -

now I don't know what I'd do - if I was near the bottom of the average, I'd probably still push.

I'd have done this and not felt bad because if you'd have called the board wouldn't look the same [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

If I knew they had QQ/JJ or QQ/Ax I'd instapush, but given their positions, your average scenario is 4 outs to a split*.

*If this is a < 20 buyin, ignore everything I just said and shove.
