6.50 FTP Turbo - AK Push with 21BB

[mutiger91]

You still have 5 people behind you left to act. I would raise to ~500. This is big enough to take down most pots your all-in will take down. It also protects you from someone willing to reraise again behind you. Any solid player who 3-bets is likely to have AA or KK and you can get away without stacking yourself.

Also, while there may be an exceptionally weak player behind you who may call w/ AQ, AJ hands, you are going to lose most action from the hands you are way ahead of leaving only the hands that have you crused or perhaps are racing with you.

You don't gain anything by pushing really.

I'd say re-raise 400-500.

Thats true, I do not "gain" much by pushing, but what I can "avoid" is something very different.

IMO the push is good b/c raising could (and def. will) put me in really ugly spots.
I can negate this with simply push AI pre.

That was what crossed my mind.
