Re: How\'s your SSNLHE?: AKs
My personal style of poker, and the style I prefer, is to win alot of medium-sized pots. Yeah, I go for stackage when it's appropriate. But, I'm just constantly putting pressure on villians when I believe I have the best hand, or very often, when I am representing the best hand. It just works for me in the 80% of the hands that we play every day that don't involve too much fireworks.
In the quiz hand, I want MP to fold whatever it is she has. I want to play a $40 pot where I have only invested $13 HU with my AK agst shortie. That's 27% of a buy-in right there with little fuss, little muss if she folds. If she calls say a $45 reraise, I'm perfectly willing and able to play the hand out with her with my AKs in position. But, I lean toward the medium-sized pot, little risk vs larger pot, bigger risk/bigger variance. It's just my overall tempermant and style.
