Very interesting.
If you're feeling weak complete, but it's not often you have the chance to double up without seeing a flop. Someone may look you up with a mid-pair or AT, which would be okay at this point, but unless you've seen UTG make this play with monsters, I think you're probably ahead. Puuuush. Sam |

Hero calls.
Your probably a 3:1 dog against UTG's range of hands, so pushing is not a good idea. (this is mainly because you are dominated with AK,AQ,AJ, I think you can push T9 suited if you think UTG will repush). |

An Axx flop will only get you in trouble. So will a Jxx flop if he has the overpair. Fold or push IMO. If you were in position I would call. |

It's well over 10% of his stack, and then he's out of position on the flop. What's his play when the flop comes Axx? Bet into the field? Check-fold if there is action? AK is going to bust you anyway, so let's clear out the mid-pairs and suited connectors so you don't have to play this multi-handed. Also I think it's possible that you're putting UTG on too narrow a range of hands. I realize that things are different as you move up the buy-in ladder, but are people min-raising with AK from UTG? It's just looking for trouble. Sam |

[/ QUOTE ] Yes, call. My bad. Yes, the button might/should call a push, but he hasn't exactly demonstrated a great deal of strength, so you're probably ahead, and may (MAY) have him dominated. Given your stack, I'll take a coin-flip to triple up. Sam |
