Dealing w/ the fish when you have AK
The fish have been pulling out this play quite often and I don't know what the best line to take.
Let's say it's level 3, you get AK in the SB w/ ~700 chips with 2 MP limpers. You raise to 150, the first limper folds, but the second, who has you barely covered goes all-in. Now this guy has a medium pair 80% of the time and some suited connectors 20% of the time. Do you fold? Do you call? Why? |

Re: Dealing w/ the fish when you have AK
How is folding even an option?
Edit: I thought it said level 2. If this is level 3 and I have t700 with 2 limpers, I'm pushing AK from the SB 1000% of the time. My God, at this point, the pot is 1/4 of your stack. Easiest push ever. |

Re: Dealing w/ the fish when you have AK
In a way, my question is if I want to take a coinflip here or not, that's all.
Level 2, level 3, it doesn't matter. |

I guess I understand the question stated in your post, but do you really raise to 150 and face hard post flop decisions OOP rather than push and probably add 25% to your stack? I'm not trying to be difficult, but not pushing here is a big mistake (IMO), rendering your question irrelevant. Okay, but that aside, of course I call the push. |

Re: Dealing w/ the fish when you have AK
Since you told us his cards, this is an easy call. I think it still is even if you didn't, given your more general read.

If you wanted to win this preflop, I wouldv'e raised more or pushed. If you are trying to see a flop, you are already pot committed. If you are trying to get him to come over the top then you did. |
