To me it depends entirely on whether he can lay down AK in this spot

That's pretty much what I'm wondering. I think people call this a lot.

i don't. i don't think AK is going to call here enough of the time to make this a profitable play. i make this play occasionally at 3-6 and it never works...the only hand that ever calls me here is AA.

this play might work more at 200nl than 400nl, because i think the calling range against you is going to be wider. even at 200nl i don't think ak is a reasonable expectation to call you, though.

anything that involves 2 bet pushing pf with full stacks and no reads = bad IMO.

it's ironic that during this thread button 3-bet an EP raiser ai with ak and got called by ak. 2-4NL 6max full tilt. 80bb stacks.

I would be amazed if reads weren't involved.

Honestly, sure why not. It's just one hand and it's worth a shot. If he folds, so what. They will remember your huge push and probably pin you down as a moron. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Plus, this works fantastic if you pick up QQ-AA the very next hand and he raises again. :-o

FWIW, I just called off 50BBs when new player (first hand) pushed over my open with AQs.

He had QT.

no one lays down AK here. Hell, I've seen this get called with KQ.

SB ($1005.52)
BB ($549.80)
UTG :#A500AF(Lucky Jackass)/ ($376)
MP ($1106.09)
TWP ($398)
Button ($30)

Preflop: TWP is CO with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $2.
<font color="#CC3333">UTG :#A500AF(Lucky Jackass)/ raises to $8</font>, MP calls $8, TWP calls $398 (All-In), <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, UTG :#A500AF(Lucky Jackass)/ calls $368 (All-In), MP folds.

Flop: ($788) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

Turn: ($788) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

River: ($788) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

TWP, too bad you always lose these hands, you could be a winning player!

Calling ranges REALLY vary here from player to player. Some fold QQ/AK, some call with 88 or something as dumb as KQ apparently (thats REALLY extreme, obviously). I don't know what the most likely average calling range would be on Party. When I get called by TT/JJ on pushes, its generally when they donk-reraise me and get married to their hand when I jam, fully expecting me to have AK. I don't jam in this kind of spot very often, but I 3-bet jam a lot in spots that many people on here would prefer to "let the weaker pairs tag along".
