Default Re: TPTK against all in on flop

A few people have asked about why I would 4bet preflop.

The reasons here are that we DO have reads. We are told that SB plays every hand for a raise. In other words, our AK is huge here (esp at 10NL). All the button has done is just minraised OTB, so he's not showing much strength, so looks like I'm WA of my opponents' ranges with a hand that even if called has very good equity. So looks like a good spot to raise/push.

If the SB was a tighter player and/or the button makes a real raise, ofc the whole hand is different. I might just fold preflop. Or if we get into big metagame, maybe button is stealing a lot and SB is re-stealing a lot, so we can push AK easily....but thats all for another time. Basically, normally with AK vs a PS raise and a PS reraise, I'll fold AK, but as we have a read here, I'm pushing/4betting
