($60) Whiffing AK with an awkward stack

[AMT]

i feel like the only two lines you can argue for consistently here is a 250-300/350 cbet line or just pushing preflop.

250/300 is good
what is it that makes people decide to shove 16 BBs here? i dont understand how that makes ANY sense ---- its not pushbot time fellas

The more I think about it, the less I hate limping here. If someone raises that's nice and you can comfortably shove, if you see a flop then you get a cheap shot to hit TPTK, and if you miss you can get away without having lost half your stack.

Someone tell me why limping sucks?

- picking up the blinds is very nice
- usually the action goes raise-call preflop, check-cbet-fold on the flop and you win a lot of chips.

i'd go 250 preflop (i always go 250 at the 50/100) and 425 on the flop. you want to discourage 44 from calling or QJ from getting cute somehow. then i'd give up.
