Re: A cookie to anyone who can make me feel better about this
There are many reason to call, but the most compelling is that villain has shown that he will push any Ace (from the prior hand): so a large percent of the time you will have him dominated.
At these blind levels you are playing all in poker, and 4 handed you will have to play: ignore the payouts. You are going to have to play many hands that are worse than AK to win the tournament so this should be an easy one. Everyone learns this lesson at least once, once you've played enough you won't think twice about pushing/calling with a wide range of hands. GL. |

Villain goes on to win the tourny; hero takes third. Please feel free to list all the reasons why I should call; alphabetical order would make this more convenient for me.

Re: A cookie to anyone who can make me feel better about this
What range do you call here with? Would 88+, KJs+, A9o+ be too tight/loose?

[/ QUOTE ] I am very much for calling with AKo and a lot of other hands here. However, when villain pushed with A5o he was much shorter stacked and in later position. I don't think he is pushing A5o for 13xBB from UTG/CO. |

good observation. You're right.
I still get the cookie though. |
