i hate AKs
So I'm playin my normal $5 sit n go and pick up AKs
(blinds 50/100, starting chips: 1500) guy in MP raises to 150 i reraise all in mainly out of fear of not hitting and then having to make a continuation bet on a flop that i didnt hit. he calls with 1010 i dont improve he wins clearly my thinking is flawed here i know some people advice simply calling his raise so you dont feel tied to the hand when you dont hit would that have made more sense here or should i put the pressure on him when i pick up AKs and push all in? the final option would be to make a reraise to say 500 but that commits 1/3 of my stack... any ideas? |

Re: i hate AKs
you will get called by A2 more often then TT at the 5s. Push was fine, but certainly not required.

Re: i hate AKs
You need to give some more information before you can get any meaningful answers. How many people are left in the SNG? What are their stack sizes? What position are you in? How has MP been playing? How was MP able to raise to 150 if the BB is 100?
Also don't post results, it skews the responses you'll get. |

Re: i hate AKs
His raise makes no sense given the blinds you state.
You need to indicate stack sizes, people left and position. You say he was MP, but don't qualify if you were EP or LP or if anyone called his raise. [ QUOTE ] i reraise all in mainly out of fear of not hitting [/ QUOTE ] Sounds like you're scared of simply being out played? |

Re: i hate AKs
sorry i meant that the blinds were 25/50
im in LP and no one else called his raise he seems average not playin a ton of hands but not a complete rock either, average for this level he has me covered: i have T1325 and he has T1470 one of the problems i've encountered is the flop'll come with rags or one paint and rags he checks i bet out 1/2 pot and he raises min...obviously i cant continue but this seems to happen with excessive frequency...ne ideas on what it means |

Re: i hate AKs
You don't give stack sizes, but I'm going to assume that neither of you is desperately short.
Because you're not desperate, why do you want to be all-in here? You're not at a point in the tournament when you need to gamble your tournament life on a probable coin-flip. Call his raise, see a flop, and play some poker. |

Raising all your chips is amateurish and screams that you need to improve your post-flop play. I don't typically reraise with AK unless I know my opponent to be LAG. Don't fear not hitting. You have position. AKs is not a hand to hate - the best way to go broke with it is if you hastily shove your chips in preflop. |

Re: i hate AKs
lol ya, because postflop play is sooooooooo important at the fivedollarlevel.
bwahahahaha Why bother playing postflop with players that play 9Ts to the flop for 175 chips when they will also play 9Ts to the flop for 800 chips. |
