UTG+2 is a tight player. MP1 is pretty loose. I don't worry about MP3 he could have a very wide range because of the given odds. My M is just over 10. About 30 players remaining only first 5/6 get paid a very nice amount. I'm currently standing place 12. My question is, is the shove bad and would raising to about 2500 be better, because a push screams AK? If someone raises me allin I pretty much can't get away, that's not a problem, just maybe that it screams AK is...

you have 200+ post and your questioning an AK shove with 3 limpers???? is this post a joke?

[Larude]

No it isn't, I'm just a relative new player but quite enthousiastic and I post quite a lot just to see how my thinking is considered by the better players in the fora. So it is a serious question. And I don't think it is a joke, because my line screams AK here and I might be better off just raising a fine amount... If you say it's a standard push well I guess it is. Just wanna reassure that then.

Sure, you can raise to 4k here. But if you are looking for another raise amount so that you can fold later in the hand then no.

[Larude]

No I was not planning to fold this hand. But AK is a nonpair after all, and I think afterwards that raising to 2500 or 3000 is a better line because it looks stronger. If I had KK++ what would have been your line then? Also shove or just raise a decent amount?
