Re: AKo -- Good Time To Push? or Should I play it out?
With the blinds this low, I am never going to be pushing here with more than 300 chips.
Here is the thing,pushing is actually one of the least aggressive lines you can take here at a tight table. It is going to win you 115 chips most of the time.
Personally, when I am getting short stacked (maybe not the case here, but lets say 450-650 in chips), I will play AK like I will play aces. Make it 90 PF, If I get two callers, I will push into any flop bet. Basically I want to get as many chips as possible in the event I win the hand. If I lose b/c I played somewhat passively, so be it.
Here, similar reasoning for not pushing. This is a great spot to get some chips. I will make whatever raise is most likely to get me at least one caller. If it is checked to me, and my stack is less than 2x the pot, I will push.
