Re: AK PF - Facing resistance - What do I do?
Tough spot.
Three other players who are probably donks, but maybe not, and donks can wake up with a hand just like anyone else. At a 20, I grit my teeth and push, although both calling and folding seem reasonable. Who knows? But I think both MPs fold and BB calls and turns over something stupid often enough to make this worthwhile. And if not, I just fire up another one. I think this just comes down to personal style/philosophy of how to play the early rounds. (If I had a read that one of the players is solid, I'm folding.) |

If I push here and get called almost every time, isn't it bad that I am likely voluntarily putting myself in a coinflip situation? Or do you think I might be way ahead enough timesto make a push worthwhile?

But, as I said, I think it's close. There was just a huge discussion on a similar situation, which you might find interesting if you haven't seen it. |
