Default Re: standard $109 AK hand?

What do you think about doing something other than raising to 400 utg here jman?

Haven't thought about it much. The raise to t400 is my standard play. (I guess it would be a good idea to think about plays we make)

Maybe open pushing would be better, or at least about as good.

I guess it really depends on your opponents. The more aggressive they are, the more you should lean toward open pushing, since you are not interested in getting involved in a coinflip here.

I'd need to look at some ICM to get exact here. I know that you wouldn't mind just taking the blinds, and you would like to get all in v Ax or Kx. You want pairs to fold.

Just a guess, but I think pushing may usually be the best play here. You may get AQ to call. You likely take the blinds. You probably get 22-99 to fold, and maybe TT?

I'm not going to reread my post, as it's now bedtime, and I probably have made a few mistakes that I don't want to fix. I'd prefer to just type this disclaimer.
