reads are the most important thing in this hand

[SeanyBullets]

That's a massive pot PF and you're stuck with the dreaded...big slick. As played, the fold on the flop is imminent.

[Unknown Soldier]

actually yeah pot is too big to fold AKo otb

[Manchild84]

First time orbit or so, so no reads..

So I should have called?

[Unknown Soldier]

yeah odds are too good, the only hand you are worredi about now is AA and since QQ+ AK is probably his range (maybe tighter idk) then this is fine. If his range was QQ+ this would still be a call, you are getting 3:1 plus position

[Manchild84]

Is this a hand where the Sklansky push AK preflop play would work?

[Unknown Soldier]

i forget what he wrote, what was his argument?

[Manchild84]

In situations like this, pushing can be the right play, since you're only afraid of AA and KK, plus you have some fold equity.
I don't think this is one of those situations though...
There was a limp, raise, re-raise, the limper cold calls, and then a re-raise.. Somebody in there has AA or KK (I'm guessing cold-caller had AK as well).. Flop all-in left right after, so still no read.

[Unknown Soldier]

well you have 0 FE against KK+ this might be a beter play oop, but you're otb KK+ is quite likely here.

[Jigsaws]

Fold to the $13 4-bet preflop.

[PaulG]

Fold before the flop after the $13 MP1 raise. He's representing AA or KK and UTG+1 is still to act.
