$25 AK against unknown

[Chargers In 07]

Hey guys, I'm usually a full ring player and play the $50 and $100 games at Stars but I'm getting bored to death so I'm trying to get back into 6 max after being gone for 4 months. My goal is to play 10-20k hands at this level and then go back up to $50NL and alternate between fr and 6max so I don't get so bored with either.

Villains first hand at the table. Seems pretty standard, yes?

FR blows - welcome back.

I don't 4bet shove AA.

I make it $6 to go.

It seems like you also got bored with this hand. I like making it $6 as well. You've got position and you'll either get his 1.75 much cheaper or narrow his range further and extract value post flop. If you were OOP shove would make more sense.

If I pfr and get 3b and I'm oop, I dont like a shove either.

I prob 4b to $7 instead of 6 and call a shove.

Getting all in regardless of flop? He'll only have $8 left in a $12 pot if we raise to $6

I was talking about pf.

People usually don't flat call a 4b.

It's either fold/shove usually.

Let's assume he calls. I'd think people do this sometime even if very rarely. He open pushes a ten high flop, we call?

[ICMoney]

Against QQ we are 43% on T52 flop.

We would be getting 2.5:1 and I'd snap him.

k ty, I shoulda stoved it myself. Didn't think about it.
