AK in the BB
I have AKo, 1700 in chips and the blinds are T100. There are 5 limpers and I make it 500 to play. THERE ARE 4 CALLERS. Flop comes K87 2 spades. What do you do now and what would you have done preflop?
Thanks |

Re: AK in the BB
Pre-flop, I'll go ahead an push. I do not want to have to deal with a missed flop out of position.
On the flop there is nearly t2k in the pot, and you've only got t1200 lef it front of you. Again, it's an easy push. My two cents, Sam |

Re: AK in the BB
Go all-in and hope no one draws out on you. The pot is already huge, any bet less than your remaining 1200 is no good anyhow.

Re: AK in the BB
Push- too much money in the pot. You very well may have run into a set here but you flop TPTK with 2500 chips in the pot and only 1200 chips left behind. With all those limpers and 1700 in chips i think i push here PF and just try and pick up all the dead money in the pot or bet 1000 PF and push on any flop.

Results
Interesting that so many would push pre-flop. I generally don't with AK when I still have 10X BB or better. I supposed being out of position should change that equation somewhat. When I made the play pre flop, I was hoping for a caller or 2, but was thrown for a loop to get 4. I ended up pushing and got 1 caller with KQ. Queen on the river (of course).

Re: AK in the BB
this may sound insane, but I wouldnt raise THAT much bro, might even think about limping if I dont go all in PF. But going all in PF is lame cuz people like to do gay crap like limp with AA or KK in early position!
In any event you need to keep in mind that AK is a DRAWING HAND! You need to hit an A or a K to get any value from it... People try to do shiety buisness with AK thats funny, like when I hit a set and they have the mindset that ace high HAS to be the best hand and keep pushing me. In my opinion, you should have raised either less, [possibly even not raised at all to keep your hand hidden and screw over some A8s when you both flop top pair] or go all in. Then again im a nub so whatever |

Re: AK in the BB
i'm killing myself over your post. "gay crap like limping in early position with AA KK" haha.
at least you added a worthwhile note that AK is a drawing hand. |
