AK on the bubble

Ap0calypse · #1 03-03-2007, 07:22 PM

I know this question sounds retarded. But I just want to make 100% sure my play is correct. 5 dollar donkament, but CO has been about average-solid. There has been a lot of discussion about whether to money or try for 1st. So this here it is:

PokerStars Tournament, Big Blind is t200 with t25 antes (4 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

CO (t3730)
Button (t4330)
SB (t3125)
Hero (t2315)

Preflop: Hero is in BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
CO raises to t800, Button folds, SB folds, Hero raises to t2290 (All-in), CO calls t1490

I think shoving this is fine. At a $5 tourney you have SOME fold equity here. Note if any opp had shoved in front you need to fold.

Easy shove. You have some FE and you're 4th.

Folding AK usually happens when there are shorter stacks than you. Here you're the shortie and calling a push isn't that bad (well, someone pushing here is pretty interesting with the blinds still so low). AK obv isn't as strong as JJ but it's still a good hand. I'd probably call if SB or button had shoved (after CO folding) and they weren't nits.

Ok...I take it that most people then would repop, although it is also correct to fold. However, he ended up having AQ and hit his queen on the flop. I had a beer so its all good.
