Just trying to see if i got the fundamentals down. I was playing pretty lag at the moment and my table stats were something like 42/33 over 36 hands about. I usally run 20/12.

We push here because of the dead money from UTG and try to get heads up with idiot button right. Im pretty sure UTG doesnt limp here with AA/KK. His stats were 52/7.5 over 40 hands. I raised his BB quite often so i think hes playing back with AT+,55+,KJs+

Button ($3.95)

MP ($19.50)
CO ($35.85)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls $0.25, 1 fold, CO calls $0.25, Button calls $0.25, Hero raises to $1.5, 1 fold, UTG raises to $2.75, CO folds, Button calls $3.95 (All-In), Hero raises to $16

Fine. I like the fact you intended to isolate and/or put UTG AI preflop - you get to see all 5 cards with AK that way.

What does concern me though UTG limp 3bet you, I'd not mind if you folded here to his 3bet -its only UTG dead money when he folds.

But UTg seems a bit of a donkey so I think your play to put him AI preflop his good. May the flop come qjtr.

Seems good to me, I always hate the limp/raise, but with the money already in the pot and the most you'll lose is an additional 12, it seems like you will be "live" (or sometimes ahead even) often enough to make this a good push.

I think you are probably ahead of the button and probably even dominate him, so if UTG folds you'll probably be in great shape. That is just a hunch though, I guess he could have an underpair.
