Re: $16 - AK vs unknown BE player
I agree with what other posters have said. Call, at this level, with your stack. See a flop and play some poker.
As played, once you 3-bet, you have to call his 4-bet. Committing your whole stack preflop, with an unmade hand, in the early stages, seems unnecessary. |

Re: $16 - AK vs unknown BE player
Stop with the "unmade hand" thingie already, it's two cards that have an equity against a range, just like any other two cards.

Re: $16 - AK vs unknown BE player
Going broke in this spot, this early is not wise. You disagree?

Re: $16 - AK vs unknown BE player
Going broke is never good.
Hero played the hand with positive expectation. You disagree? |

Re: $16 - AK vs unknown BE player
If you think that UTG is raising with AJ/AQ, then the hand was played very well by OP. UTG has to be pretty bad to make this play with AJ/AQ (which might very well be the case). Otherwise, you will be in a race against a good PP most of the time. I think its too early to race. If this was the 50/100 level, then the hand plays itself.
How is this, calling>shoving>raising to t450? As for pos EV, with AK it will pretty much always be close, and therefore never bad to stack off with it. But, that doesn't make it the correct play. I'm still learning, maybe I'm way off here. That's why I'm here, too. |

Re: $16 - AK vs unknown BE player
EV isn't really close here.
