Hand from the Sunday Million

DOTTT · #1 07-20-2007, 10:02 AM

I think there was about 380 players left at this point. Average chip stack was around 180k. I have a loose image when it comes to calling all ins. A couple hands ago I opned to 20k in the CO, CO+1 shoved for 100k more I called with KQ and sucked out on AJ. There are 3 players I have to worry about left to act. Button, sb, and bb. The button and sb were moved two orbits ago and saw the KQ hand go down.

Make it 80, call push.

2. Fold/Fold.

i'd iso raise to about 80-90k w/ the AQ... call w/ AA,KK, shovel the AK, and iso to 80 as well w/ the QQ, as well as fold the A9 and KQ

Why raise/call AQ but shove AK?

I'm interested that you play AQs and AK differently. Could you elaborate your thinking here? Are you thinking a smallish raise gives you more FE? Sorry if it's LDO. The other hands seem pretty clear.

I see I'm not the first one

Do you feel raising is scarier then going all in (from the remaing players point of view?) I guess that would make sense.

I flat called the shove, button pushed, I folded rather quickly without much thought.

I shove with everything except the big pairs, which I call with. UTG does not have to have a good hand here because he is so short, and you're likely crushing him. The pot is large enough that you don't want to fool around by calling and letting someone else outflop you, or bet on the flop with a draw and force you to fold, or raise you out preflop with a hand possibly worse than yours, like AJ or AT. There's very little chance that any of the remaining four players have you beat, and if they have a lower pair you can get them out by shoving.
