Bad Call?? I think so

[danjohncochane]

Just joined the table myself but seen some agressive betting happening. With it being Saturday morning the fish are in vast numbers so thought my AK was good over a range of villians hands.

Bad Call?????

buttons reraise all in with sb left behind him after u 4bet is very very strong IMO. He has like AA/KK most of the time here.

you have 24 more to call pot is 53.5 so your getting just over 2 to 1.

Against only AA/KK you have 18% equity.
Against AA/KK/AK/QQ you have 38% equity.

Thus if you think he will shove over both your and SB's bet with AK/QQ or worse, then calling is ok.

standard call - you're getting 2:1 and the only hand that crushes you is AA.

His range is bigger than that especially if "seen some aggressive betting happening" - is accurate.

vs QQ+ AK you're a 40/60 dog. so call here everytime. If he'll pull this with AQ once in a while this call is very +EV.
