AKo on STT Bubble
Single table tournament - 4 handed on the bubble - 3 places pay 50/30/20%.
Blinds are 100/200. Stacks after posting blinds: CO: 1070 Hero(BTN): 2530 SB: 6225 BB: 3375 Reads: SB is a very experienced and good STT player. CO folds, Hero(BTN) ...? Do you... |

Re: AKo on STT Bubble
Since he's a good player he will probably 3bet you allin with a lot of hands you dominate so i like the raise to 600 to entice him into pushing a weaker hand.

Re: AKo on STT Bubble
Well, you could wind up with the chip lead "if" everything worked out. SB & particularly BB won't call or raise w/o good solid hands. I like the 600 bet as bait, if you are ready to push if you get re-raised. If you are not ready to push, just fold. This isn't the right time for a fight with the wrong opponents. I'm new to STT's so please correct me if my thinking is off base.

Re: AKo on STT Bubble
I think this is a no-brainer push given the read. If you raise and get shoved on you have to fold against just about any opponent (unless you have a good reason to spite call). Against people who will tell you the strength of their hand by their betting patterns (shove means you're beat) you want to be able to standard raise when you have more than 10 BB so you can pick up pots without risking everything. If you have that kind of situation, raising instead of shoving may be a good way to balance your play.

Getting reraised or called in this spot is kind of a disaster scenario because of the ICM situation created by you having a decent stack in 3rd and risking busting out with a 5bb stack in 4th. If you are in the BB with that stack and either of the two larger stacks shoved on you have to fold AK (even if you were suited) if they were raising 100% of the time. With 600 extra in the pot, calling a shove with AKo is less costly but that is balanced by the fact that you can't put the shover on any two cards. |

Re: AKo on STT Bubble
i want the blinds to be a little bigger, but i'd probably shove as well... i understand the raise to 600 line, but what if you get shoved all-in, then what? minimize the thinking, just shove.

Re: AKo on STT Bubble
ok.
If you are going to open push, what range of hands do you think the sb and bb will call you with? If you standard raise, what range of hands do you think come over the top of you? |
