Re: $15+1 turbo - AKo vs raise and call
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] DJ, the reason that AK is regarded as highly as AA-QQ here is because if you push here with 22 and you get called by JJ you're a 4 to 1 dog. If you get called when holding AK against JJ you're a small dog and the extra money in the pot makes up for that small underdog that you are. [/ QUOTE ] You bring up a very good point and I understand and agree that AK has the potential to become a great hand, but... your still a dog. Don't mistake me here I am not saying I will push 22 here... In fact the only hands I would push in this specific example are AA-QQ. JJ or less I am folding. I just hate pushing AK and risking my tourney life a draw... I know it will hit sometimes, but I just hate losing with it... when I could have folded and still been in the game in good shape... FWIW, I have had some long losing streaks w/ AK... [/ QUOTE ] You would honestly fold JJ here??? And im reallt getting sick of all this OMG AK IS TEH TRASH IT IS DRAWING HAND!!! AK is a premium hand. It can be folded preflop it certain specific situations. This isnt one of them. |
