PS $27 a,k early facing reraise

[Olback]

I have been having trouble deciding what to do in situations like this recently. Do you push all in and take a coin flip or call OOP and then fold if you miss?

I had been repushing these but i figure maybe calling or folding is better.

I tend to call and check/fold a miss flop and get all my money in if A/K hits

I dunno if its the best way but donks re-raise with AQs pf sometimes but will fold to a push

Of course you probably lose chips by check/fold since you are OOP but I tend to play like a girl

I guess I'm in the minority but I hate pushing AK early. I rely heavily on HUD data here, of course I am pushing over a LAG but I've folded here when I couldn't be sure I even wanted to hit the flop. Otherwise I call and see a flop.

750 left after
pot = 950 + 750 = 1650, 2-1 odds to call.

Are you folding if you call and miss? If not, I perfer to push

Easy push.. even if you lose you will still have 700, which can still do good damage.

I caught a reraise PF from MP tonight at a 27 and the guy had A8o. So, it depends on the player...if unknown I might call and do what 11t said. Against some players Ill just let it go pf...

Well i feel calling is weak as i am OOP. Pushing is ok, but do i really want to take a coinflip this early?

Is anyones decesion changed by the fact that he mini reraised me preflop and not pushed?

Would you have called a push?

All I am saying is that I am rarely 100% in the dark regarding an opponent at the 27s. If I am in the dark I could go largely on mood (not saying that's a good thing) but I agree that pushing might be better than calling. I just don't buy the whole minraise=strength thing that much.
