Re: 2 AK hands, your play?
Okay, I'll play...
1) Push 2) I could fold here. I don't particularly feel like racing, I don't particularly like calling (since you might not get paid when you hit), and without reads, his raise represents real strength and a fairly significant portion of your stack. Man, I hate writing this, cuz I know I'm gettin flamed. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] |

Damn you're a pussy. [/ QUOTE ] LOL. Have you seen some of my other posts? I can be a pushbot with the best of 'em. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] First off, 1C5 said he had no reads. Usually, I'll have some kind of read by then, but anyway, with no reads, I don't think that calling here does much. If you call, you're now down to t635 with the blinds coming in two hands. Any post flop play if you miss is going to leave you in the lurch. So I don't like calling, even with position. All I'm saying is that I don't think that you're giving up much here by simply folding, assuming that you give UTG credit for a hand with his 3 BB raise. This I am sure of. |

Re: 2 AK hands, your play?
Hand 1, I kind of like a push. With a larger stack, I'd probably call, but having t900 with a t500 pot out of position could be difficult to play. I'd be satisfied with taking the pot down pre-flop and you might get called from AQ or the likes. At the worst, you're probably a slight dog. There's also some meta-game implications... you pushed a raise from your BB... but yeah, no one pays attention to this stuff at the 20s.
Hand 2, I don't usually like pushing this early into a tournament and you're in better position this time. I'd probably call this one and hope to take it down post-flop, either on a steal if it's checked to you or by hitting and value betting. |

Re: 2 AK hands, your play?
Hand 1 is an easy push. Second hand i call, and play the flop, you cant really make a reraise that doesnt commit you to the hand, a push is better than reraising but i call here.

Re: 2 AK hands, your play?
1. Easy push.
2. I probably call, or maybe re-raise to 180 to push out the riff-raff and have position post-flop if he calls you. |
