AK preflop: call 1/3 of my stack, push or fold?

[1C5]

Good points.

So to recap why to push preflop. It doesn't allow hands like TT to get off cheaply if they see a bad flop or bust you if they see a good flop.

Also at the lower levels, if you push you are going to beat QQ or lower a good % of the time anyway. (KK and AA, you are screwed but that won't happen often)

And the best part is that by pushing, you will often be dominating hands like AJ or AQ that the raiser will often turn over.

So next time push PF. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Push it's not even close. The overbet screams " I don't want to see a flop" I have the villan on JJ or TT. Push and pray.

at 50+5, i would have folded. i'm on the wrong side of the coin flip. i would find a better spot to risk my healthy stack.

I fold here as well although I play lower limits. Only hand you are very far ahead of that I could see somebody making this raise with is AQ. His bet screams "I have the best hand PF and all I want is the blinds."

I say let him have his 75 and find a better spot.

Clear push PF.

Plus that seems like too much of a raise for AA or KK.

Am I the only one who runs into AA everytime I think that raise is too big to be AA?

In a $11, clear push. In a $55, clear fold.

In a $55, what do you normally expect a player to have to make a bet like that?

A push here would be extremely gangster. A 20 post thread about it is not, however.

In theory, it can be a lot of weird crap but it's more likely he has a medium pair as opposed to the typical $11 97o.
