Re: AK common spot
[ QUOTE ]
Shoving definitely blows, thats why I said its overboard. I think squeezing sucks too though in that I have to make it at least 12 to go and then c/f a flop if I miss it. But folding seems weak tight.

ya i agree this is an ugly spot, but i dont think folding is that bad. we are oop and will miss a lot of flops, coupled with the fact that we really dont know what flops are good for us. squeezing forces us to make some really difficult flop decision, but it should give us some fold equity and let us know if we are crushed. calling seems bad to me, but it may not be as bad as squeezing. if we call we will be oop in a bloated pot and still have no clue what flop we really like and so on. then again we are ahead here a decent amount, and have a solid amount of equity a good portion of the time we are behind. so meh.
i still think folding is superior, but there is merit to other choices...
