Folding AKs in the BB

Bigdaddydvo · #1 06-30-2005, 04:10 AM

Final Table WSOP Stars double shootout. Me, MP3, and the CO are all roughly tied for chips at about 2500. Both are solid. Blinds 50/100. MP3 opens to 375, and CO immediately pushes. I have A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and fold. Thoughts?

How many left and what are the other stack sizes?

This is an intersting hand, I'd like to see what the STT people have to say about it as well.

looks like a good time to double up to me.

all the $ goes to 1st, so this is pretty different from a normal STT (where i'd call anyway).

fold

Anymore I almost live by the saying that AK is a great raising hand and a terrible calling hand. Of course it seems like every time I call the raiser has a middle pair that holds up, and every time I fold to multiple raises, they flip over A-Qo and A-10s.

I would fold this as well. Dont like calling all my chips off on AKs in tihs situation.

This question needs to be answered, because my decision would be different based on if it was a full table or 3 handed.

Assuming it's a full table, fold.

8 remain.

accoring to TPFAP, this should not matter. % to win = % of chips on the table, so hero should maximize chipEV regardless if there are 4 or 8 players. (2nd-8th all pay the same, right?).
