Re: AK
 

i'd rather just shove then. you leave yourself with such awkward stacks to play on the flop. you accomplish the exact same thing by 4-betting smaller- i mean, that extra $40 or whatever isn't going to dissuade villan to make more moves postflop (i suppose sometimes it might). if you 4-bet to like $150, whats your typical plan on a blank flop? you've put in nearly 1/2 your stack with not too many options.

so, yeah, i like 4-betting a bit smaller or just shoving pf.
