eurotlow03 can't call.

My question here, is about my play preflop with this hand. I can't really imagine folding to a 45t bet more, and a raise seems like a good idea w/ AKs.
Comments?

<font color="white"> eurotlow03 folds. SethTV shows [ 3h, 6h ] a pair of queens. After this hand an the next couple it quickly became apparent that this guy doesnt like money. </font>

Re: AKs First Hand Party 22
 

Also a newbie, but on the first hand, I might limp with AK and hope to hit big. Too many loose callers that early in tourney...they could call a raise to 90 with anything.

Re: AKs Fourth Hand Party 22
 

I hate min-raisers, but even so my new strategy in the 22's is to push this. If they have AA/KK so be it, but there is just too much money out there to pass up the opportunity. And in the 22's I think when you do get called, it is with Ax (and worse) with enough frequency to make it more than worthwhile.

Re: AKs Fourth Hand Party 22
 

What about the times when they have middle PP and they call. I don't really wanna put my tournament on the line in the early stages w/ AK when at best im probably 60 40, but most probably 50 50.

Re: AKs Fourth Hand Party 22
 

Agreed. Pushing is not the right thing to do with AK. Raise to 60 or limp. Go from there.
