Re: NL50: AK OTB, raiser+2 coldcallers - Raise, Fold, Call?
This situation reminds me of Concept No. 22 in NLHTAP, where Sklansky/Miller write that sometimes itīs a good play to move in w/ AK. The reason is that itīs quite unlikely that someone has AA/KK, you have ~30% equity against KK, are only a slight dog against lower pocket pairs, plus in reality some favorites will fold (say 99,TT, maybe even better), plus sometimes you get calls from worse hands like AJ (especially the 34/11 player I think), so in the long run you win.
If the regulars are watching you must sometimes do the same thing with AA/KK to keep them guessing.
