6.5: Calling allin with AK

Kibby · #1 12-28-2006, 11:35 AM

Normally I fold AK to a push but with two callers
I felt there was enough value to justify a call.

Thoughts?

This might depend on a read of the SB, but regardless you played this as you should have IMO.

God yes in a 6.50 instacall/pushover.

SB has a far bigger range here than you might think. And you have AK. If that weren't enough, your AK is suited!

lox, this situation is different in yours as opposed to OP. In yours, you are calling an allin with 2 people already allin and a third likely to call. There is no way you are ahead in your situation, and it is likely that some of your outs are counterfeited. In OP, he is going to be up against one opponent.

It by no means is a clear fold, I just feel you would be better off pushing a worse hand against one opponent than calling against 3.

wow, tough, I'd fold I think

Must call- villian would most likely slow play his 6. Actually, you are ahead of anything that I wouldn't slow play to the Hero here, Call.

I fold here because he's still deep and has time.

I folded mine because someone had to have a pair, but AQ beat KQ in that hand with all under cards. Shocking at a 27 frankly. Still glad I folded though.
