Then the reraise came and i just felt he had a big pair right between JJ or QQ. So i called. If i am 90% sure i am in a coinflip or better here, is this a right move? |

Re: 10$ s&g: playing AK
Personally if I'm 90% sure I'm in a coin flip at t50 I'm folding. Way too early to get in coin flips!
You are right about the big pair which means you are now drawing and hoping to hit 1 of 6 cards. But then again you could hit and still lose. Bite the bullet and fold to the reraise this early in the game. |

Re: 10$ s&g: playing AK
I guess it can't be all that bad with so much the dead money, but i think i find a fold here to reraise, we still have 26BB if we pass against an opponent who is almost certainly JJ+,AKs,AKo. We are 40/60 here. Reads would be brilliant here.

Re: 10$ s&g: playing AK
At the $10 I don't think this is always JJ+, AK. You'll see weaker pairs and weaker A's a fair amount. I think some folks at this level try a squeeze play way too often.
All of this being said, I think a fold is the right play given your stack. |

Re: 10$ s&g: playing AK
Thank you very much.
I thought that the dead money would make the call a good one. |
