Wierd Aces ITM

[Beachman42]

Set-up:

Full Tilt $10 MTT. 470 runners/45 pay. We are down to ~35 or so.

Reads - Hero has been tighter than a gnat's ass since the MTT CL & 2nd biggest stack bracket him [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]. I have been slowly eaten alive by the blinds/antes which are 1600/800/200. Relavant stacks are:

Seat 2: TommyR (26,051)
Seat 3: natedog1234 (79,870)
Seat 4: Bustin_U_Out (49,482)
Seat 5: HERO (33,302)
Seat 6: THIZZ_wit_IT (74,835)
Seat 7: nstork82 (30,464)
Seat 8: badger21 (13,985)
Seat 9: jake1212 (7,874)

Table has been fairly loose since the bubble burst. Many smallish pf bets followed by c-bets. pf re-raises have been fairly common, but usually only 2 or 3 see the flop. Both big stacks have been very active severely limiting my staling potential.

Hero's cards: A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

pf action:

THIZZ_wit_IT raises to 3,200;
nstork82 calls 3,200;
fold, fold, TommyR raises to 4,800; fold, fold, Hero ????

A min-raise, a flat call; a RE-MIN-RAISE (?!?) puts 15,200 in the pot & I'm the BB. Pushing seems over-kill, but what's my line?

[Omahahaha]

i like a push. itll look like AK and get hands like TT to call you. and even if they all fold thats a big pot for us, we increase our stack 33%

[FortunaMaximus]

Push is the most obvious choice. Gets it at least HU.

However... There may be merit in raising to 15k, getting a call call shove allowing you to reshove and creating a gigantic pot.

Since this is a $10 though, you dno't need to get this fancy, so just shove.

I'd just push fast and hope that QQ-KK puts me on AK. If everybody folds, I show.

except I don't really ever show, but this isn't a bad time for it

[lyncks2002]

standard push for value, looks like AK AQ and you will get called if someone has any pair >= 99

That's probably the best line for a $10 tourney.

[Flatlanman3]

I would reraise it to 6400 there, IMO because almost 100 percent one of the two others in the hand will feel committed, and this also sets you up to make your all in move on the flop, which might be something like K x x and they initially raised with KQ and think you may have QQ, but if you push preflop a marginal hand who min raised may not call you down. Just my 2 cents, gl

[rppkoz]

TommyR just put in a raise as the 3rd man in for 20% of his stack. Just stick it in.

[mornelth]

This is NOT the time to FPS it - several people showed interest in the pot, somebody has TT+, AQ+ and you are getting called since the pot's getting very hefty.

Shove it in.
