AK re-raised, OOP. Just dump this? (22s)
NL Texas Hold'em $20 Buy-in + $2 Entry Fee Level:1 Blinds(10/15)
Table Table 14952 (Real Money) Seat 6 is the button Total number of players : 10 Seat 2: DustyFaker ( $605 ) Seat 5: sink57 ( $1115 ) Seat 9: Hero ( $1160 ) Seat 4: gnuyankee ( $180 ) Seat 1: Gnomates ( $730 ) Seat 3: jaime13066 ( $1330 ) Seat 10: SketchedOut ( $760 ) Seat 7: lkennedy721 ( $755 ) Seat 8: josephbelow ( $525 ) Seat 6: Whimsfield ( $840 ) Trny:15851304 Level:1 Blinds(10/15) ** Dealing down cards ** Dealt to Hero [ Kd Ah ] Hero raises [50]. SketchedOut folds. Gnomates raises [150]. DustyFaker folds. jaime13066 folds. gnuyankee folds. sink57 folds. Whimsfield folds. lkennedy721 folds. josephbelow folds. Hero ??? I have a bit of a history of overplaying AK and this situation may be one of them. I think this one is a fold. 1. The 3x re-raise indicates he must have a made hand, especially if he notices that I raised more than 3x BB when UTG. I strongly suspect JJ+. 2. I like to be the agressor with AK. If I call and miss the flop I don't have any sort of advantage being totally OOP. 3. It's a way early game, and I have no reads that tell me this guy is a total idiot raising 10x BB with AQ. I think I'd rather save the 100 chips. |

I fold this. I don't want to get involved for this many chips this early. He could have Jacks or something but considering you are only hitting a king or queen on the flop 30 something percent of the time I think this is a fold. If you want to gamble and see it I don't think it's terrible but I would prefer a fold.

I think folding is fine, but why do people say this all the time?
[ QUOTE ] he must have a made hand [/ QUOTE ] What is a made hand? This term is rediculous a hand will win a certain percentage of the time regardless if it is "made" or not. |

[/ QUOTE ] I get what you mean, but I guess what I'm trying to say is that I think I'm beaten, likely with a pocket pair. The way that he played this is EXACTLY the way I play AA and KK, especially up against an UTG raise. thanks for the replies all. |

[/ QUOTE ] Luckily, the fact that you have AK cuts down on his chances of having either of these hands. You have enough chips and are getting a good enough price so that I think calling and taking a flop is a good play. You can get away from the hand if the flop isn't favorible for you, but you stand to gain some chips if it is. |

I always assume that everyone is an idiot unless I have notes that say otherwise.
I don't like folding here. I either call and see a flop or push. Of course--- that might be why I don't do well in 800-chip SNGs anymore. You can afford to burn a few more chips and make a mistake in a 1000 chip game. But you have 1160 chips already, so--- I would call. |

I'm pushing every time. If I lose, I fire up another. If I win, I can pretty much finish 1st or 2nd. Most times on the 22's I expect to either see jacks, queens or aq.
