Re: (22) Am I missing something on how to play AK
[ QUOTE ]
You guys crack me up. To the coin-flip-assumers: either one of these players could have anything, early in the 22s. One of them with a pair is *worst* case, and even that's not so bad. To the "I can outplay these suckers later" crowd: Just how many premium hands do you think you're getting in a shallow-stack, fast-structure SNG? And to top it off, you've got the raiser comfortably covered in chips. I auto-push this, and it's very, very easy. [/ QUOTE ] ahh, grapefruit to my rescue! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ] this is the first level, so if you are getting antsy to get your money in already, I think yer crazy! and i would rather take AJo 5 handed, than AK in this situation. no need to take advantage of every single miniscule edge you get on every single hand... comfortably covered? we are talking level 1 here. ah, nevermind, difference of opinion, but i think you are taking way too many risks this early...

One of the lessons I've had to learn while moving from $10's-$50's [/ QUOTE ] The 50s are a totally different story. But the 22s? Come on!

Re: (22) Am I missing something on how to play AK
It seems all the 'regulars' recommend a push, but the fact that villain is shortstacked and raises that much is an important factor. If he had an average stack, and you have no reason to believe he's a bad player, is a call better then?

[/ QUOTE ] I think someone with this many chips this early gives us a lot of reason to believe he is not a solid player...nevermind it is the 11s. You know what, the best thing about this hand is that whether you push or fold, over the long haul, its not going to be THAT much of a difference. I just don't like calling and playing from SB too much, but even that's not horrible.

[/ QUOTE ] I agree over the long haul the difference will be negligible. so, i guess it really lies more in your tolerance for busting out early. If you dont mind getting busted early, then by all means get your chips in. but, if it bothers you and ends up affecting your play, then fold it. Its a matter of choice. but i think that because the debate is pretty evenly divided, that there is no clear cut answer...just preference.
