Default Re: Rate my stupidity

This is a tough spot when you are facing a raise from UTG which represent 10% of your stack.

You're options are fold/call/raise.

Folding: Kind of weak. But certainly not terrible depending on a read.

Calling: You have position and AK. So, calling isn't bad here. The raise being ~10% of your stack makes it a little less attractive.

Raising: Well, raising to 400 is asking for trouble. It's just under 1/3 of your stack and any post flop bet is going to pretty much commit you to the pot. So, with the 140+40+20 in the middle. I think if you are going to raise, just push.

So, depending on the opponent I think you can either fold, call or push. They are all read dependent. However, I would not raise to 400 here.
