HoH1: AKo in early position at Lvl2 (p.305)-> Bet 4-5BB?! I disagree..
Harrington seems to favor betting hard w/AK when you're out of position early in a tourny. Then follow up with a continuation bet (most of the time).
If your cont bet gets called, you're through w/the hand unless you catch something on the turn. Lets do the math: if you bet out 120 and get a non-blind caller, that's 285 in the pot. (i'm no longer following the example in the book where the player doesnt listen to Harrington and just min raises.) Cont bet = ~150. if you started with 1000 chips (ie: 50+5), you're down to 730 at lvl2 if you don't win. If you do take the pot, you win 165. Early in my 50+5 career, i usually end up with 730 chips much more often than not. yes, even the 55's, people call my 1/2pot bet all the time on middle/low/pocket pair or even gut draws. and it gets even more expensive if there's 2 callers. What line works for you when you have ak out of position early in a SnG? |

back when the games were really good, i would just limp ak in ep. now i juice it pot in any position. if theres one limper lvl 1, i make it 70 auto. if im utg, i make it 55. pot pot pot. sometimes i cont bet, sometimes i dont. depends on the player and the texture of the board. holla

You have to put more money in I guess |
