For people who are calling, are you only doing this if it is a big stack that pushes (rather than a stack closer to your size)?

Would you do this in the first or second level?

Btw I put the blind on exactly KJ of diamonds.

Definitely a possibility. IMO, people are being WAY to conservative about the range they could put the SB on in the 10's and 20's I play. I put him easily on AA-77, AKs-AJs, KQs-KJs, AKo-AJo, KQo-KJo which makes me almost 3:2. I could even add in lower PPs and I'm 55:45.

Curtains is correct this looks like a steal raise to SB and I'm definitely putting him on a wide range unless he has been playing much tighter then the typical player I see.

Clear call.

I'd rather call in L1, where it's more likely an idiot can show up.

He had AQo, FWIW.

And I too felt that SB thought I was trying to steal raise.

I was joking about the KJs [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] If he has AQo you should call. Anyway I recommend calling to begin with.

Are sit and go's prize structures really so sick, that you can raise to 3x the BB on the button, get reraised allin for about 4-5x your original raise, and you have to fold AK!!! In basically other form of poker game this would be a ridiculous fold, however of course it becomes a closer decision in the sit and go's.

Idk, I don't really ever put the guy on AA or KK here, so I think its a profitable call.

btw UMass I don't ever put them on AA or KK either, but sometimes they have it, and I'm always outraged. However I agree that it's less likely than if they would have raised to about 350-400.

IMO, the number of 'suggested' folds is due to the Aleo guideline, which states that in the early levels, level 1-3, AK is an OK hand to push allin with, but is not a good hand to call an allin with. But it's just a guess.

In that respect, level 4 is right around the corner (as it's currently level 3).

But more importantly, I still think SB expected to win the hand right there as he probably saw my bet as an attempted steal. In fact, if you were the SB, would you play it any different? (SB has AQo)

I would probably move allin with the AQ, yes.
