$11 PS, AK facing large reraise

[StregaChess]

True... but this comment...
"AK dominates and plays well against just about every hand" is not really centered around blinds. No problems, just asking...

To everyone saying push (which btw, i should have mentioned im either pushing or folding- never calling), what are you putting villian on? Cause with only 100 chips committed at 15/30 blinds in a nonturbo, i am certainly not looking to get it in on a coinflip. Do you guys think he has a worse A / AK often enough here to push, or that i actually have enough FE to get him off a pair. Generally when they reraise so large, they dont plan on folding, but maybe i havent been in this spot often enough.

I knew it was a normal $11.

Against an unknown I'm going to assume they don't have AA or KK the vast majority of the time with that raise. I also think you have some FE preflop. Most likely you're against a medium pair that calls, but you will also get calls from smaller A's and some really sketchy stuff like KQ and KJ in these.

If you add everything up I believe you're solidly +EV pushing this.

The BB has something like JJ or QQ. He raised so big because he doesn't want to play out of position.

You're giving way too much credit to the typical unknown in these low buy-in regular structure SnG's.

Heres the problem with your reasoning.

1. I believe he said the guy hasn't got out of line yet.
2. Not everyone at low stakes is an idiot.
3. We both agree you can't just call. So you have to shove.
4. You have very little FE.

5. If he really is an idiot your going to have alot of great chances to double through him. So why risk it now when you havent seen him act like an idiot?
6. You still have alot of chips. No reason to force the action into a coin flip.

If you're putting a random player in an 11 on a range that includes only two hands here, you have some serious leaks.

In response to the numbered points:

1. Its 15 hands, so what?
2. True, but most are
3. Yes, shoving is good
4. This is way off. You should have very good FE against a lot of hands.
5. We dont know if he's an idiot yet - its been 15 hands. We have a strong hand and - yes - FOLD EQUITY!
6. This might be a reason to fold vs a known tight player. Again we dont know anything. Its been 15 hands. I would lean towards assuming this player is on a fairly wide range that we have very good pot equity against.

I'd shove.

heh fine. Shove away!
