NLTRN $6 Turbo 5-Bet

[Suaimhnea]

The opponent here is an unknown. We've played 15 or so hands and neither of us have been out of line.

Early in the match I checked AKs from the big blind and won with a high card at showdown (ewww, right?).

BB (t1325)
Suaimhnea (t1675)

Preflop: Suaimhnea is Button with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

Against an unknown 5-bet range, I should be folding here?

No. I never release AK preflop. In 99% of cases the times the opponent has AA/KK and the times he's overplaying AQ-AT roughly cancel each other out in my experience. Get the chips in and chalk it up as a coinflip even if he shows AA (or AQ).

Mathematically speaking: you're in 360, he's in 360, that's 720 in the pot, assume that all the chips are going in if there's further action, meaning you must "call" 965 to win 1685, that's 1.74:1. Even against an extremely conservative opponent range of TT+, AQ+, you are almost even money. Heck, even if we take out AQ it's only 60-40. Jam, hope, and don't kick yourself even if he flips AA.

You don't push this in an 11, 22 or 33? Or anywhere for that matter?

[dboy23]

sure I push readless.

[Raiseren1]

Very easy push.

If his range is bigger than AA,KK then this is a shove.

[Suaimhnea]

I have no clue what his range is here. He's 3-bet once from a big and is pretty standard in terms of the per cent of hands he's been opening from the button.

If he can have JJ or less here you are good to shove.
