Re: 109: early AK hand
[ QUOTE ]
As far as Scuba's question about the turn, how could you not like his turn play? Obviously he can't fold, so you are suggesting a raise. Why raise him off nothing when he may be willing to bluff at the river, and why let him check-raise you with a real hand or draw when you may have been able to showdown for less on the river?

Because checking behind/calling on all streets to get a cheap showdown and/or induce a bluff is the wrong way to extract value in a SnG... especially with AK.

Although I do completely agree everything else you said. I just think that after the flop the game is to try to get it all in as fast as you can without scaring him away too often when hes really weak.
