($33): All-in with a caller, AK out of position call/raise/push?

So, it's not that someone is already all-in, but rather that there are enough chips in the pot that an all-in is called for? So, you would have pushed even if UTG had put 85 of his 800 chips in the pot and someone had already called? That seems reasonable.

This is what I ask myself when deciding whether to raise some standard amount, or just push.

When do I open push this to pick up the blinds? So, here I have t740 in chips so I would be looking to pick up the blinds at 50/100 blind level (<10xBB). In other words, to me pushing with AK to pick t150 is worth it. In this case, there is t170 in the pot so a push is worth it here.

Is this a reasonable approach?

That, too, sums it up. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
