Mid Tourny AK Play
 

I posted this in the Small Stakes MTT but only got one reply and was hoping maybe I could get something out of this forum... thanks...

Full Tilt 69+6 double stack NL Tourny about two nights ago...

I have watched the button over play several hands in the last two orbits and has sucked out on players one two occassions once hitting a rivered set and once a runner runner flush.

My image is very tight only having showed down KK and JJ (twice) and AQ in the last hour.

I don't have a hand converter since I am at work right now but remember the specifics so here goes:

Blinds/antes 300/600 75, 90 players left, cash at 45 Avg Stack = 15,000 TC

Hero is in BB with 17534 TC

Folded to button with 30K TC who raises to 1800 TC

Hero Re-Raises with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] to 5000 TC, Button Calls. (10970 in pot)

Flop
2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I have about 12K left at this point, I am certain that if I check here that the Button will bet and decide that 10K in the pot would be great to take down right now so I push, putting the pressure on the button and off of me...

Any thoughts on why a c/c or c/r or c/f would be a better play here? Any thoughts would be very helpful as I am now just getting back into tournement play after playing strictly limit holdem for the past several years. Thanks!

Shoving the flop is very standard.

Raise more preflop to make your flop shove more standard
