Re: An AK challenge ---
No. You're supposed to fold.
|
Re: An AK challenge ---
This looks like the classic limp big pair UTG and then reraise big after someone raises. Fold this with no read.
|
Re: An AK challenge ---
he's raise like "i have group 1"
you are like 'aks is only fav over AQ(rather unlikely) and either coinflip or 2:1/4:1 underdog to AK/AA'. and given pot odds, you say "ok that is a bad gamble", and click the fold button. |
Re: An AK challenge ---
This guy has you beat. It's not bad to raise allin PF at times with slick, you dont want to find yourself calling with it.
For instance if loose clown make it 4bb in EP and gets like 5 callers, thats a decent time. |
Re: An AK challenge ---
The AK challenge only occurs vs donkeys that you have a read on. No reads its a pretty easy fold.
|
Re: An AK challenge ---
I don't agree here.
You have no read and there's more than enough dead money in the pot to justify a call. Go with your instinct. There's no way i'd lay this down, especially at NL50 |
Re: An AK challenge ---
I'd fold with his stack that big.
If his stack was 20BB, I think that's an easy allin, anyone else agree/disagree? Am I stupid for factoring in his stack size when it's all going in preflop? |
Re: An AK challenge ---
Nope, you wait to see him do it 5 more times in quick succession, and then you gamble the next time.
|
Re: An AK challenge ---
Exactly, with a decent "idiot/maniac preflop" read I'd gamble but vs unknown or semi-good/tight player no way.

[/ QUOTE ] Yes...It's not about stack size, it's about pot equity. Against an unknown even a hand like KJ has surprising equity. |
Re: An AK challenge ---
against limp reraise this is easy easy fold with no reads.

Re: An AK challenge ---
In this situation, instafold without a second thought.

Re: An AK challenge ---
Shame on all of you.
My replies should be obvious sarcasm. How, I wonder is someone playing at NL50 (when there is NL2, NL5, NL 10 and always NL25 available) without knowing this situation? |
Re: An AK challenge ---
i'd call short stacked donks with up to 20bb's.
|
Re: An AK challenge ---
Looks like the typical AA-KK move in an early position. Straight from the book.....I fold and wait for a better chance to take his money.

I fold and choose not to get my money in as a probable 13 to 1 dog. [/ QUOTE ] FYP |
