Standard early situation w/ AK

emeraldice · #1 08-01-2007, 02:32 PM

Early in a 24+2 on FT, dealt AK utg+1; BB = 30
Raise to 90, one caller, CO insta hits pot raise. My move?

we really need a lot more info than this ... and if it is standard why are you asking?

I'm saying standard as in there should be a standard response since it is with no reads early in a low buyin MTT. Not that I know the standard answer.

You have all the information I had so there is nothing left to add.

It's early so I'm guessing you've got no significant reads. Pot is somewhere just shy of 500. Assuming an extremely tight range for CO of AK, QQ+ you need just shy of 40% equity to justify continuing in the hand so folding is wrong. If you flat call it's almost 1/3 of your stack and it will be hard to do anything except check/fold on a flop that isn't ace or king high (except a flopped straight). Any raise is committing you so I would just shove my stack in now. This maximizes fold equity (getting both villians to fold isn't a bad result here). The most likely result is MP smooth caller goes away and CO calls. Even with the tight range listed above you've got the odds you need. If villians range includes anything else (a sqeeze with air, lower pairs, smaller Ax hands, or KQ) then your equity gets even better.

no stack sizes? position?

If that is all the info you have then you don't have enough either

If looking for the standard answer then look at the other 500 AK threads that have been posted this week

Jam. If you win - hooray! If you lose - booo!

In a $24, this could easily be AQ, this could be a player confused about when to use the squeeze, this could be 66.

play on a site where they do not hide your stack size and they let you know the position of the raiser.
