Danthepunter Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I have been having an argument with a friend of mine on what to do in this situation in a tournament and am helping you can prove me right with your views. Latter stages of a tournament 25% of starting field still . You have 30 big blinds ( so not to deep and not to short stacked ) there has been two limper's and then a raise you are in middle position with ACE KING what do you do ? a) Fold B) call c) Shove all in / raise Thoughts please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heniek31 Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Re: AK in this spot ? 30 BB is a perfect stack to re raise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignedkelly Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Re: AK in this spot ? take it down - if its been raised to 3 or 4 big blinds im prob making it 10 big blinds in a spot like this and if he comes back at me then unless i have info on him as being ubertight then im calling his shove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAM Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Re: AK in this spot ? Difficult to say without knowing the sizes of the other stacks, how big the raise was and how the players have been playing. There should be an option D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danshot Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Re: AK in this spot ? Had this exact point with some earlier in week about ace king , he raised , someone shoves , someone calls he folds fair enough they show 99 and jacks. He still swears he would fold even if saw their hands saying he is still flipping but your odds are definately plus EV he still kept saying just a drawing hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erhaab1965 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Re: AK in this spot ? At this stage of a tournie , if there is an all in before you , with AK is it ok to pass it if it is for the majority of your chips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
^Newbie^ Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Re: AK in this spot ? i need an option D here . I need to know how they are playing . (a) the limpers - do they usually limp in when they have a hand ? Or are they trying to see the flop cheap . (b) You have 30 big blinds left . Why must you thinking of shoving it all in ? AK is still not a made hand anyway . You need to hit the board to win a showdown most of the time unless u dominate the other party . Even so , 2 outer might still win u sometimes , resulting in a bad beat . For me , 30 big blinds is good enough for me to keep playing and find opportunities to increase my stack . You do need to play some hands and not wait for big hands to come . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
