Re: $33, passing up an edge by folding AK

[ QUOTE ] So, if you push and are called you're most likely spliting the pot or a coinflip and you don't really want to be flipping coins this early. [/ QUOTE ] This seems exactly backwards to me. I'd rather take a 50/50 on either being set until round 4, or being out and loading up another tourney, than play 3 or 4 rounds, and then try to double up or lose.

Re: $33, passing up an edge by folding AK
I just call, but pushing is fine.
The other option is a raise to 799. If he calls check it down. This has the same impact as a push but also maximizes cheesy thread equity b/c you provide yourself with a chance to come back from 1 chip and make a stupid post on this board about it. There, thats my stategy post for the month of Nov.

Re: $33, passing up an edge by folding AK
I normally call here. At the $11s I push preflop because I utterly crush that range. The $33s are different enough that I probably call here, and I think calling has a lot going for it. First of all, if you catch an Ace then you stack AQ-AT and can eat a c-bet which should be in the 100-150 area, giving you some implied odds for calling. Second, if he does have a smaller pair, you can win the pot sometimes if he checks to you on a Q- or J-high flop. If you miss and the flop looks bad for you sometimes he checks to you anyways and you can grab a free turn card. I don't see many downsides to calling, really. Sure some of the time you drop 100 here and sometimes you make top pair and he makes a set, but calling takes all the bad sides of coinflips out and still lets you stack off against hands you dominate. I think folding is kind of poopy here honestly. AK in position against a PFR = Jeff's playing this pot.
