Default Re: 50NL AK

I don't like to 4-bet AK, unless it's a 4-bet shove. Almost anything that calls me (except AQ?) is going to be, at best, a little ahead of me. So I need the fold equity in there to make it worthwhile. If you 4-bet (but not all-in) AK, and get flat called, that supersucks, if you get shoved on, you're almost certainly calling as an underdog. If you shove it, you might fold out a JJ, or even a tight QQ. If you get called you probably have like 40% against his range (split between mostly races, and rarely being absolutely crushed).

Today a guy 4-bet me with AK, and had to just call my QQ shove. That's the situation you don't want to be in, because you're committed to calling from behind.


I just mention all of this because you said "4-bet raise/shove," and I think raising is a bad idea. If it's all redundant, then ignore me. Also, hand seems standard.
