Re: Pushing AK Preflop

[ QUOTE ]
I cant ever rationalize pushing AK pf without having tournament chips in front of me. Something about the fact that I will almost always have a better spot to stack them later just makes me not want to do it.
Is this weak-tight?

That's what I'm trying to find out. I haven't seen a good, mathematically based coherant argument that pushing is bad.

One can do the EV calculation...
1) WHat % of hands he raises to $25 folds to a push?
2) What range of hands does he call a push with.
Then do the trivial calculation using pokerstove and a hand calculator.
I think the % in 1) is very low. And the range in 2) is not as tight as you would think. Try out some combinations and see the results. The answer might be illuminating.
