Bubble hand $5 + .50
 

Help me out with this one. I don't remember the exact stack sizes, but heres the scenario, 5 players left...

Blinds 50/100
Hero ~400 - SB
BB ~1200
UTG ~194
Player4 ~ 2900
Player5 ~350

Hero is dealt AK offsuit

UTG is all-in, PLayer4 folds, Player5 folds, Hero??

I'm split between calling and pushing over the top. If you think its likely that BB will call a push, push, if not call and hope he calls as well.

too bad player 5 folded.

Yeah, The big stacks at this table were not helping me one bit. Everyone was playing really tight. I ended up folding because I have the bigger short stack, and as tight as everyone was playing I had been able to push as SB and steal the big to last another orbit hoping for a shorter stack to bust.

Not the bubble. Again. Push

I'm pushing this all day and twice on sunday. Your push might be enough to convince BB not to come along and UTG probably pushing any A

I see no reason not to go all in here. In cases where you don't have a very sepecific reason to think someone else will bust before the blinds hit you again and that bust will make you money for sure, AK is a good enough hand to get it all in 100% of the time.
