i'm not sure why you dont just raise to something like 150.. 200 tops.

seems like going allin is a pretty big overbet.

Search for my other post on AK...I got pwned by Citanul.

hmm... i think i disagree with citanul here. i think you're losing out on chips. i think the donks at the low buyins are much more likely to call with a low pocket pair than with a weak ace. and I don't want to be racing 90% of the time I'm called.

What I do want is to make a decent raise, get called by AT, and get paid off when an A flops. I just think in the long run this is the better line.

I totally disagree with calling -- but I don't agree with pushing either.

I agree calling is not an option here...I was convinced by Citanul that pushing is good here...

[mlagoo]

well if we all played the same, it would be pretty boring

The other posts from Citanul were different spots though - I dont recall you posting one from level 1...I could be wrong.

I'd be shocked if pushing had a higher EV then flat calling.

I call too and play accordingly. Dont be scared of all the players. If an ace or king comes "usually" you will be good and a lot of the times you arent, it will be obvious and youll be able to let it go without losing your whole stack.

[rydazzle]

yup, thats strikingly similar. I have this on my favorites too - what a moron.

to nit, its a raise from MP though...UTG min raise is scary

btw one quick note, even though I support calling preflop, Pushing is definitely not bad.
