Re: Was I Destined to Go Broke?

2) was there another reasonable way to play that, so that he wouldn't have gone broke, and if so, how?
[/ QUOTE ]
he could have folded pre-flop or on the flop, that would have stopped him from going broke.
However, both of these moves are too weak, so no, he doesn't avoid going bust here.
I would have moved in pre-flop however. AK needs to see 5 cards to extract the most value out of it, and pocket pairs ( generally) prefer to see flops before acting for all the chips. By just calling, you played into the (likely) PP from the caller previous to you.
Don't play in a way that gives them help, play to maximise your own hand.
