vilain is very LAG... last round he gonna all in PF with AJo and double up
I put he in 88+ or AJ+
should I push or fold?

And if I'm sure its a flip?

if u lose ur 5th and chips and still have a shot. if u win u have this thing gaurunteed. push , and wut did he have?

You can't 3-bet with your AK and then fold to a 4-bet - specially not with your read - so i think this an easy push.

[ZenMusician]

Agreed...what was your plan if he pushed?

Always have a plan; even if it's a bad plan,
at least you learn from it.

Your RR commits you, particularly with your read.

he is LAG, but I was scared about his 4bet
if he had AJ+ I think he was just calling

I put he with a pair... I was almost sure that
but I pushed and he showed JJ

I won, but I don't know if is good to play a flip here... against other big stack
to play small pots PF isn't better? only playing big pots when I'm ahead

So you did everything right.

If you play in position you can flat-call with AK and play postflop (while most of the time it's still better to 3-bet). In the SB your way was the better one.

In a big MTT you will have to crush more than one big stack to reach the FT, so don't be too afraid of busting out (which you will do often).
