Deep in 3r on FTP.. Should I have just shoved preflop?

[Crow1974]

Deep in the 3r on FTP 13 left, I was 10/13. Table was playing tight even to standard raises. But I have been very aggressive and gotten away with quite a few shoves.

I knew when the shortstacked and button called the BB gets a good price to call, so I understand there.

AK seems to always be a tough hand to play after the flop, youre coin flipping or 60-40 against most all hands.

Your M is only 5 so after a raise you only have one move so you might as well put it in preflop. And someone might put you on total junk and call you since since M's are so low and you've been pushing.. I push preflop here.

With an M of 5.5 I'd just shove this PF. As played obviously you have to get it in, you can't give him credit for the made flush.

I was actually going for a go &amp; go on this hand when I opened intially.

I appreciate that u are a thinking player...but this is FPS.

[donquay]

if I was going to go for a go&amp;go (if you got a call) I'd raise bigger to set up a near pot sized shove on flop...as played with all the callers it was a near psb but if ace wasn't on flop would you really have wanted to shove into that many other players with air?

I'd be shoving here for same reasons others have listed.

you're going broke there all day long
