Re: Early all in push - What is their range?
As for the all-in, I agree that i would call w JJ+. I am not sure if I would call w AK since we are still even in chips and it's only hand 4. I think at this point I have a better than 50/50 chance to play it out and win and don't want to flip against a pocket pair.
With the chip stacks even, and normal raise ahead of me, I can't think of a time I would instantly push here. So that is why I asked about ranges as I do see it done a fair amount.
As for the other hands...
Hand 1 - may be a leak, I limped here only to see how he would react to a limp from the BB. I like trying this early with an junk hand, as I can lay it down easily if he raises me. Which also plays into whatever image i am trying to portray. Later in the match,I am RR this hand on the button, if they fold any decent % of my raises.
Hand 2
I agree was played poorly. I had FPS on this hand, and it did not play like I wanted it to. I was trying to get a CR on the flop, which blew up. Then I thought for sure that he would have reraised me on the turn with a good draw and I was going to pop it up there. So I got stuck betting the river and was prepared to fold if he came over the top. The good thing is my Dr. wrote a prescription to help with the FPS.
So would you call with AK here? I am not sure I would.
