Re: $11 speed AKo early
I had been battling the issue of hands like this since the speeds came out...for now my opinion on this type of situation is....(this is push or fold, which I assume you already knew)
Fold...
you have not invested so much of your stack that you are given clear odds to go all-in.
his reraise IMO most likely means somewhere from AQ-AK or TT-AA, with AQ being the least likely. This is a reraise that is very odd for the typical player in the $11s.. I would give this more respect than a typical reraise to say t500 or so which could honestly mean anywhere from 77-AA and A9-AK and KJ-KQ.
the last factor is the length of the tournament....I was trying to figure out if AK in this situation would be best played for less +EV than in the old games. (a push I'd say is indeed +EV, it's HOW MUCH? and IS IT ENOUGH? that are the questions)
the jury is still out with me on that, but until I figure out that one, I'd vote fold.
