Default Re: 35 k on stars (is this where the good player folds ak preflop)

[ QUOTE ]
Someone said earlier "against a thinking player" and there was something else saying "if he's any good" Tell me what reasonable thinking player makes a HU 18x shove? This is a 10r, we are dealing with a non thinking player who doesnt want to play his cards or a thinking player who wants us to think he doesnt want to play his cards. This is very rarely AA or KK, we're looking at ATs+ AQo+ 22-JJ most of the time here, unless you have a read that would suggest he would do this with premium. ALOT of times in these rebuys people are looking to race with mid to small pairs and such because they want to double.

As for what you should do I think either way is fine, if you dont have much of a read I may lean slightly towards folding since your stack is fine now but theres nothing wrong with calling either I dont think. If you have a read that he's sorta standard rebuy player I would lean more towards calling, you're a couple of levels away from feeling pressure and this could definitely be a great spot to pick up a ton of chips.

You say this is 22-JJ, ATs+, AQ+, but you can fold AKo?????
Wait for a better oportunity????

I think it could be a donk with that range. However, AK, QQ-JJ is about all that makes sense. Also, AA/KK is not impossible, since the early position raiser will probably call with 88+, AK (and you probably are raising in that range most of the time), figuring it is AK/AQ, a middle pp or a maniac.

It seems like you are well ahead of pot odds gainst villain's range, so call and hope for the best.
