Re: A play I sometimes use.

I don't see you getting called very often here when you have villain crushed(aq-). A line I like to use is to just limp/re-raise(push). I dislike getting involved in big pots out of position with AK. [/ QUOTE ] When he open-pushes from SB, he's no longer playing a big pot out of position with AK. He's eliminated position. And you won't believe how many people will call that with any ace, without a second thought, cause they're not gonna let that [censored] deny them the right to a free flop. |

Re: A play I sometimes use.
I know the OP was talking about a $100 buy-in game, but this is a play I also use at the $22's on Ultimate Bet. I will either open-push with AK from the SB or push from the BB when the SB completes.
It's amazing how many times I have been called with A-4o, K-10, etc. People at the $22's view the huge overbet as a bluff and think their marginal hand is the nuts. I find it a very profitable play. |

Re: A play I sometimes use.
On July 4th, some guy completed his SB in level 3, I pushed AK from the BB and he called with Q2o.
On Sunday, there was one UTG limper in the Bodog 100K with 30/60 blinds, I pushed AK from the SB and he turbo called with 55 (took no time to think at all). If it works... |

The OP's play seems kind of like overkill and I hate raising to 150, gettign a call, and the flop coming rags. |

The OP's play seems kind of like overkill and I hate raising to 150, gettign a call, and the flop coming rags. [/ QUOTE ] I hate limp reraising because people simply don't raise enough. Yet they fold too often when I raise, and just because a flop comes rags doesn't mean it's impossible for me to play. I don't want to do something exotic for no reason here. You have AKo headsup, just raise like a normal person. If they do happen to call, then make a new decision on the flop. You'll have top pair a decent % of the time, and youll have a great bluffing flop some other % of the time. If it comes 976, feel free to check/fold, sometimes things don't work out perfectly and okay, you've lost 125-200 chips...its not really a big deal. Also even when you miss and it's a reall ugly flop, it sometimes gets checked around for a while and your hand either turns out to be good with ace high, you catch a pair, or an oppurtunity to bluff arises later in the hand. btw in this type of situation with a huge stack and nearing the bubble, I think it's reasonable to raise with any 2. Not saying I'd do that but theres no way in hell I'm going to take my huge stack and limp in with AKo from the SB. I obviously exagerated the terribleness of the play, but I really don't like it. I really try to avoid all the unneccessary fancy BS. Limping in headsup with a giant stack and AKo qualifies as overly fancy. |

This is at a 100+9 but I don't think level matters much here. I have 3K and am the chip leader with 6 players, I'm in the SB. The BB is an average player with around 1000 chips. Blinds are 25/50. Folded to me with AK and I push. Thoughts? [/ QUOTE ] Wow! Such an incredible and groundbreaking move! In all seriousness, I can't believe you have been here this long and you think this move is interesting or special? I think this play is very standard, and boring. YOu suck, honestly, I expect better out of long time posters. Stop the clutter moron. |

Go back in your hole and pretend to be someone famous where people might care.

Re: A play I sometimes use.
DaveWillaims the difference between this and the normal push from SB is that his oppent has 20BB and he has more, and the move is normally only used with >10BB. Your the only one cluttering up the board.
