Theory - Calling All In With AK.

[Sounded Simple]

I recently found a leak in my game. Its a "leftover" from when I played SNGs and MTT where AK is the nuts PF.
Reviewing hands in PT I found that Im spewing with AK when the villan shoves over my PFR.

So in an attempt to fix the leak I have done some calculations and made myself a basic quide for "getting it in"
Im posting this as a line check and to generate discussion.

It doesnt cover all the situations but I want to see if Im heading in the right direction with this.
If Im way off on anything then flame way - all comments welcome.


AK Equity vs Villans Range
(A) AA,KK - 20% (4-1 odds Required to call)
(B) AA,KK,QQ,AK - 40% (1.5-1 odds required to call)
(C) JJ+,AQs+,AQo+ - 50% (Even money call)
(D) Any Pair, Any Broadway - 60% (fistpump call regardless)

Villan Shoves Over Your 3-Bet
For a rough indication I used the following examples.
Villan makes 4bb raise and hero makes it 12bb

150bb Stacks - 138bb to win 162bb (1.17-1)
100bb Stacks - 88bb to win 112bb (1.3-1)
80bb Stacks - 68bb to win 92bb (1.35-1)
60bb Stacks - 48bb to win 72bb (1.5-1)
40bb Stacks - 28bb to win 52bb (1.85-1)
20bb Stacks - 8bb to win 32bb (4-1)

Against Range "A"
Fold unless against a super shorty giving 4-1.

Against Range "B"
Fold unless the pot gives a 1.5-1 (minimum) overlay.
If its close tend to fold since most villans range will be "weighted" towards AA,KK rather AQ etc.

Against Range "C"
Against this range its a basic flip.
Fold only if the stacks are very large and losing will cause tilt.

Against Range "D"
Call and be prepared.


Keep In Mind
- The odds above are for indication only, each situation will be different.
- Being suited matters only a few %. It adds 2-4% of equity to AK.
- If its multiway exersise more caution since the villan may have a tigher range, also the other players may have a monster.
- If its bet and 3-bet before it gets to you fold AK, unless your against two manics.
- When in doubt (having considered all factors) for meduim-large stacks folding is usually fine. Constant flipping for stacks can be frustrating.
